Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host building, with due regard to the Halifax Street Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposal would have a harmful effect on the character and appearance of the host building and would not preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Halifax Street Conservation Area, with no public benefits to outweigh this harm.
The less than substantial harm to the conservation area was not outweighed by any public benefits, and great weight was given to the conservation of the heritage asset.
