Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the scheme on designated heritage assets, specifically whether the scheme would preserve a Grade II listed building, its setting, and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses, and whether the scheme would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of Duncan Terrace/Colebrooke Row Conservation Area
- The living conditions of occupants of neighbouring dwellings in relation to noise
What decided it
The scheme would fail to preserve the special interest and significance of the Grade II listed building and would harm the character and appearance of the Conservation Area, with public benefits insufficient to outweigh the less than substantial harm caused.
