Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal has preserved the setting of the Grade II listed building known as 'Lisle House and Wellesley Court Hotel'
  • whether it has conserved or enhanced the Central Conservation Area (CA)
  • whether the proposal is harmful to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The cumulative harm to the listed building setting, conservation area character, and neighbouring living conditions, combined with minimal public benefits, outweighed any justification for the development.
