Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the proposal would preserve the special architectural and historic interest of the Grade II listed building '3 Park Lane', the effect of the proposal on the setting of the Grade II listed building 5 Park Lane, and the effect of the proposal on the character or appearance of the Cheam Village Conservation Area
- Whether or not living conditions for future occupiers of the site would be acceptable with regard to natural light and the provision of internal space
- Whether or not the proposal would make adequate provision to reduce carbon emissions
- The effect of the proposal on the operation of 3A Park Lane having regard to effects of noise and disturbance on the living conditions of future occupiers of the site and the agent of change principle
What decided it
The harm to the special interest of the listed building and conservation area, combined with failure to demonstrate acceptable living conditions and adequate carbon emissions reduction, outweighed the modest public benefits of providing a single dwelling.
