- Dowsett J
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve a Grade II listed building, 149 Brick Lane, and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses, and the extent to which it would preserve, or enhance, the character or appearance of the Brick Lane and Fournier Street Conservation Area
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions on the occupiers of numbers 151 and 143-147 Brick Lane, with particular regard to privacy and overlooking
- Whether the proposed development would provide suitable living conditions for the future occupiers, with particular regard to internal floorspace and headroom
What decided it
The harm to the listed building and conservation area, combined with breaches of living conditions standards for both neighbours and future occupiers, could not be justified by the minimal public benefits of the proposal.
