Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the adequacy of services and the sustainability of the shopping area
  • the design or external appearance of the building
  • the provision of adequate natural light in all habitable rooms

What decided it

The proposal failed to comply with three of the four conditions required under Class M: the loss of the shop had not been justified and would harm the sustainability of a key shopping area; the residential elevation would be incompatible with the retail character of Regent Street; and bedroom 1 would lack adequate natural light.
