Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development upon the setting and significance of designated and non-designated heritage assets
- the character and appearance of the area, including the CA as a designated heritage asset
- the living conditions of the occupiers of Nos 15 – 27 (odds only) Yorke Gardens and No 29 London Road with particular reference to outlook
- the living conditions of the occupiers of Nos 15 – 27 (odds only) Yorke Gardens and Nos 29 and 29A London Road with particular reference to privacy, light and overshadowing
What decided it
The absence of substantive assessment and analysis regarding the proposed development's effects on the setting and significance of the Scheduled Monument (Reigate Castle) meant the heritage policies of the Framework were not met, providing a strong reason for refusal on this matter alone.
Framework references: 202, 207, 208, 212, 213, 215, 135
Plan policies cited: Policy NHE9, Policy DES1
