Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed variation of condition 1 on the appearance of Nos 57-59 Beak Street
- the effect of the proposed variation of condition 1 on the character and appearance of the Soho Conservation Area
What decided it
The rear elevation of the host building is of minimal architectural quality and interest, having already been compromised by previous changes, and the proposal would not harm the appearance of the building or the character and appearance of the conservation area.
