Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area with particular regard to the significance of the Bromley Town Centre Conservation Area
What decided it
The retention of the existing historic frontage of the 1930s building, combined with the stepped-back design of the 12-storey scheme, would reduce the visual impact of the height and allow acceptable integration with the character of the area and the setting of the Bromley Town Centre Conservation Area.
