Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of varying the condition on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The limited visibility of the lift overruns and smoke shafts from public viewpoints, combined with their design integration and positioning on the buildings, means they do not cause adverse harm to the character and appearance of the area.

Plan policies cited: Policy CS17 of the Elmbridge Local Plan Core Strategy, adopted 2011, Policy DM2 of the Elmbridge Local Plan Development Management Plan, adopted 2015
