Footpath outside Waitrose, 62 High Street, Weybridge, KT13 8BL

Installation of 1No. BT Street Hub Unit and associated advertisement panels on either side of the unit

Authority: Elmbridge Borough Council
Appeal type: advert · Commercial advertisement
Procedure: Written
Development: telecoms
Postcode: KT13 8BL

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 prominence of the illuminated hub and advertisement panels would cause less than substantial harm to the setting of the listed building and conservation area, and the limited public benefits do not outweigh this harm when great weight is given to heritage conservation.

Framework references: 212, 215

Plan policies cited: CS17, CS18, DM2, DM12, DM15

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.

Every English appeal since 2016, with the letter behind it wherever the Inspectorate published one. Searched by meaning as well as by words, with the key case law counted live across the letters.

Casework that chases the deadlines. Applications, appeals and conditions with their statutory dates.

The judgement stays yours. The tool gathers the material and dates it.
