Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the special interest of the Grade II listed building, 83-89 London Street
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the Chertsey Conservation Area

What decided it

The design of the extension, particularly the large roof lantern and its unsympathetic relationship to the historic rear elevation, would cause harm to the special interest of the listed building that is not justified by the modest public benefits offered.
