- Tweddle J
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve the special interest of the Grade II listed building, 11 Wapping High Street, and whether it would preserve or enhance the Wapping Pierhead Conservation Area
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with regard to their privacy
What decided it
The proposal would fail to preserve the special interest of the listed building and the character and appearance of the conservation area, and would cause unacceptable harm to neighbouring privacy, with insufficient public benefits to justify the harm.
