Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development and works would preserve the special architectural and historic interest of the Grade II listed buildings known as 42-43 Egerton Crescent, and preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Thurloe Estate and Smith's Charity Conservation Area
What decided it
The harm to the special architectural and historic interest of the listed buildings and conservation area caused by the proposed internal and boundary openings was not outweighed by public benefits, particularly given the availability of a fallback permission and the absence of evidence that the residential use would become unviable.
