Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the works would harm the special architectural and historic interest of this Grade II listed building, whether they would fail to preserve the character or appearance of the Belgravia Conservation Area, and whether they would harm the significance of either of these designated heritage assets
What decided it
The comprehensive nature of the proposed extensions, particularly their scale and prominence on the rear elevation, would cause less than substantial harm to the significance of the Grade II listed building and Belgravia Conservation Area, which could not be justified by the claimed public benefits of upgrading the property.
