Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development preserves or enhances the character and appearance of the Kings Cross Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposed shopfront's overall design, characterised by a large expanse of undivided glazing and an extended fascia that dilutes the significance of the first-floor brick arch window surrounds, would cause less than substantial harm to the Kings Cross Conservation Area that is not outweighed by any public benefits.
Less than substantial harm to the significance of the Kings Cross Conservation Area was not outweighed by bringing the site back into use or any other public benefits of the proposed development.
