Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposals would preserve a Grade II listed building
- Whether the proposals would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Cheam Village Conservation Area
What decided it
The loss of historic fabric, particularly the exposed 17th century timber beams in the western elevation wall, combined with the non-subservient design and scale of the extension, would cause less than substantial but considerable harm to the listed building's significance that would not be outweighed by public benefits.
