Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposals would preserve a Grade II listed building, 13 Colnbrook Street, and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
- The extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the West Square Conservation Area
What decided it
The external ventilation pipes would clutter the formal front elevation and appear incongruous in the context of the largely unadorned stucco dressings of the listed terrace, causing less than substantial harm to the listed building and conservation area with no identified public benefits to justify it.
The less than substantial harm to the listed building and conservation area was not justified by any public benefits, as the wine store is a private facility with no public benefit.
