Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The possible implications for the significance of specified nearby heritage assets, namely the Whitehall Conservation Area, the Palace of Westminster and Westminster Abbey including St Margaret's Church World Heritage Site, the Westminster Abbey and Parliamentary Square Conservation Area, the Savoy Conservation Area, and the River Thames, and in particular whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Conservation Areas

What decided it

The harm to the significance of the designated heritage assets, particularly the World Heritage Site and Conservation Areas, outweighed the limited public benefits of the scheme, as the extended deck covers would create an unduly dominant and discordant feature in a setting of great heritage significance.
