®Planning appeal decision
18 Mortimer Street, Basement And Ground Floor Maisonette, LONDON, W1T 3JN
The proposal is to make environmental improvements at 18 Mortimer Street. It is important to understand that the Council does grant planning permission as the heat loss reduction achieved, does meet the Council’s aim of improving environmental performance, at ground floor, 18 Mortimer Street, W1T 3JN, located in a conservation area, by the installation of energy efficient double glazing in aluminium mullions from floor to ceiling to replace and upgrade the existing thermally non-compliant single glass in internal metal mullions from floor to ceiling

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the East Marylebone Conservation Area
What decided it
The public and private benefits of improved thermal efficiency and easier maintenance are insufficient to outweigh the less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area caused by the unsympathetic replacement shopfront design.
