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 locally listed building
  • the vitality of Hounslow Town Centre

What decided it

The shopfront's removal of traditional architectural features caused harm to the locally listed building's significance that was not outweighed by benefits, whereas the change of use would bring vacant premises back into use and support town centre vitality without causing over-concentration of non-retail uses.
