Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the settings of the heritage assets of the Grade II* listed building, the Old Vic Theatre, and the Grade II listed Royal National Theatre Studios
- The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the local area
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the settings of the designated heritage assets was not outweighed by the modest public benefits of the scheme, particularly given the statutory duties to protect listed buildings.
