Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the Barons Court Conservation Area and on the setting and significance of 3 Challoner Crescent, a locally designated Building of Merit
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring dwellings with particular regard to outlook, noise and disturbance
What decided it
The improved design with increased setbacks of upper storeys, reduced massing, and architectural detailing that respects the conservation area context, combined with effective management conditions for the hotel use, overcame the previous appeal's concerns about character and appearance while ensuring acceptable living conditions for neighbours.
