Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal scheme preserves the grade II listed building at 65 Holland Park Mews, or any features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
- Whether it preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Holland Park Conservation Area
What decided it
The harm to the heritage assets, though less than substantial, was not outweighed by any identified public benefits, and the scheme therefore conflicts with the statutory duties under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 and the NPPF.

- Policy CL3Policy CL4Policy HC1
