Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Appeal A: the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area bearing in mind the special attention that should be paid to the desirability of preserving the setting of the nearby Grade II listed Ship Inn and the extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Weybridge (Monument Green) Conservation Area
  • Appeal B: the effect of the proposal on the amenity of the area

What decided it

The harm to the setting of the listed building and the character or appearance of the conservation area, given the great weight that must be accorded to heritage conservation, outweighs the limited public benefits of the proposal.
