Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve the listed building and any features of historic or architectural interest that it possesses
- Whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Bloomsbury Conservation Area
What decided it
The significant harm to the special interest of the listed building and the character and appearance of the Conservation Area caused by the prominent external lift shaft and internal lift installation outweighed the moderate public benefits of the scheme, including the appellant's personal circumstances and accessibility improvements.
The less than substantial harm to the listed building and Conservation Area, to which great weight was attached, was not outweighed by the moderate public benefits comprising heritage enhancements, accessibility improvements for a disabled person, and the appellant's personal circumstances.
