Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development and works would preserve a Grade II listed building known as 25-53 Norfolk Square and 34 Norfolk Square, or their setting or any features of special architectural or historic interest it possesses
- Whether the character or appearance of the Bayswater Conservation Area would be preserved or enhanced
What decided it
The considerable importance and weight carried by less than substantial harm to designated heritage assets was not outweighed by the public benefits of hotel upgrading, and the proposal failed to preserve the special architectural interest of the listed building and character of the Conservation Area.
