Issued on 8 Jul 2026

1. Positive support		2. No objection
3. Objection	X	4. Objection unless revised as below
5. No comment/neutral		6. Lack of detail
7. Decision already issued

Reason for objection:

Objection. We expressed concerns about the original PA 22/03694, namely its impact on the existing roofscape & relationship with the grade 1 listed All Saints Church. By increasing the height of the clerestory roofs/ roof lights, this material change would do further harm to that relationship, especially when viewed from the west over the grade 2* listed Kingston bridge, would conflict with the incoming local plan & its evidence base (notably the highly important views & building heights studies), & must therefore be refused.
