5.5 In respect of concerns raised by the occupiers of Flaxman House, it is considered that their comments relating to potential damage to their property during demolition and construction is not a planning issue. If any problems occur during the proposed works, this will be a civil issue between both properties. Whilst the points raised by The Chertsey Society are well made, this Authority could not reasonably refuse permission on those grounds for an office development given the existing use of the site. In addition the site does not fall within an Area of High Archaeological Importance and therefore the Authority cannot insist upon the imposition of an archaeological watching brief. 5.6 Whilst the external design of the building is not being considered at this outline stage, the applicant has provided street scene elevations to give an impression of the potential scale of the building proposed, and the bicycle/refuse store. This street scene elevation suggests that a building of the floor area proposed would be in character with existing commercial properties along Gogmore Lane, in terms of its height and scale. The street scene elevations suggest that the height of the building would be increased by some 0.6 metres. 5.7 Following an on site level survey, the applicant has demonstrated that existing levels beneath the proposed building are above the 1 in 100 flood plain level of the River Thames. Therefore there is no requirement for underfloor voids beneath the building. 5.8 The County Highway Authority raise no objection to the closure of one of the existing accesses, and believe the level of parking provision to be in line with their standards. Whilst the proposed redevelopment will result in an increase in staff numbers from that existing, it is considered that a refusal could not be sustained as it fully complies with adopted parking standards. 5.9 Consideration has been given to the requirements of Article 8 and Article 1 of the First Protocol of the European Convention on Human Rights. It is not considered that the granting of permission would result in a violation of any objectors' rights under the Convention.
