Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on amenity with specific regard to visual clutter, on the character and appearance of the Guildford Town Centre Conservation Area and the setting of Grade II listed 23-37 (odds) High Street and locally listed 39 High Street
- The effect of the proposal on public safety, with particular reference to highway safety
- The effect of the proposal on flood risk
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the significance of designated heritage assets, combined with unacceptable harm to highway safety and the absence of a required flood risk assessment, outweighed the moderate benefits of the proposal.
