Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development and works would preserve the Grade II listed 6–30 Westbourne Terrace, or any features of special architectural interest and/or historic character that it possesses, including setting, and the settings of other listed buildings including the Grade II listed 9-14 Westbourne Crescent and 8, 2-7 Westbourne Crescent; and whether the development and works would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Bayswater Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposed window and door designs would introduce inconsistency with the existing window grid and detract from the heritage significance of the Grade II listed building and the character of the conservation area, with insufficient public benefits to outweigh this less than substantial harm.
