Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposals on the character and appearance and visual amenity of the area, including the setting of the Redhill Town Centre Conservation Area
What decided it

The less than substantial harm to the setting of the Redhill Town Centre Conservation Area was not outweighed by the modest public benefits of the proposal.
