- Rann J
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposals would preserve the special interest of the grade II listed building, 13-16 Wimpole Street W1, and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
- whether the proposals would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Harley Street Conservation Area
- the effects of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupants of neighbouring residential properties with regard to privacy
What decided it
The proposed roof terrace enclosure would fail to preserve the special interest of the listed building and the character and appearance of the conservation area, and the side balcony would unacceptably harm the privacy of neighbouring occupants, with no public benefits sufficient to outweigh these harms.
