Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area and the settings of locally listed buildings, and whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Cheam Village Conservation Area
- the effect of the proposal on highway safety, with particular regard to vehicular access and egress and refuse storage
- whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to internal space standards
What decided it
The proposal would cause substantial harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area and the setting of a locally listed building through its siting, bulk and massing, combined with unacceptable highway safety impacts and failure to meet internal space standards for residential accommodation.
