Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed works and development would preserve the Grade II listed building or its setting or any features of special architectural or historic interest
- whether the character or appearance of the Duncan Terrace/Colebrooke Row Conservation Area would be preserved or enhanced
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at No. 16 Sudeley Street in terms of access to sunlight and daylight
What decided it
The harm to the special architectural and historic interest of the listed building and the character and appearance of the conservation area, combined with adverse effects on neighbouring living conditions, could not be justified by the limited public benefits of the proposals.
