Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the Mayfair Conservation Area
  • The effect of the development on the settings of Green Park and the Royal Parks Conservation Area

What decided it

The harm to the architectural order and symmetry of the Mayfair Conservation Area and the setting of Green Park, characterised as less than substantial but of considerable importance, was not outweighed by the private and limited public benefits of the proposal.

The less than substantial but considerable harm to the Mayfair Conservation Area and the setting of Green Park and the Royal Parks Conservation Area was not outweighed by the private benefit to the flat occupier and modest economic benefit from construction work.
