Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the works on the special historic and architectural interest of 33 Onslow Gardens, as a Grade II listed building
What decided it
The absence of any public benefit to outweigh the identified less-than-substantial harm to the heritage significance of the listed building and the statutory duty to preserve it.
Less-than-substantial harm to heritage significance weighed against claimed public benefits; the balance tipped decisively against the proposal because no public benefits were advanced and the private benefit of an open-plan layout did not constitute a public benefit capable of outweighing the harm.

- Development plan policies
- Policy CL4
- National Planning Policy Framework
