Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve a Grade II listed building, 34-65 Queens Gardens, 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 Bayswater Conservation Area
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupants, with particular regard to loss of light and sense of enclosure to the flats at lower ground, ground and first floor within 58 Queens Gardens
What decided it
The proposal would fail to preserve the special historic and architectural interest of the Grade II listed building and the character and appearance of the Bayswater Conservation Area, with no public benefits identified to outweigh the less than substantial but considerable heritage harm.
