Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the Leatherhead Conservation Area and on the setting of the Grade II listed building at 1-3 Church Street
What decided it
The use of UPVC windows instead of traditional timber windows would cause less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Leatherhead Conservation Area and the setting of the Grade II listed building, and the limited public benefits from thermal efficiency do not outweigh this harm.
