Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would preserve a Grade II listed building, known as '40-46, Chipstead Lane', and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses

What decided it

The proposal would fail to preserve the special historic interest and significance of the Grade II listed building by eroding the legibility of its historic plan form, and the limited public benefits were insufficient to outweigh this considerable harm to a designated heritage asset.

Paragraph 203Paragraph 205Paragraph 206Paragraph 208
