Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the development would harm the significance of any adjacent listed buildings
  • whether the development would fail to preserve either the character or appearance of the Barbican Conservation Area and cause harm to the significance of that asset
  • if harm would be caused to the significance of any designated heritage asset, whether that would be outweighed by public benefits

What decided it

The less than substantial harm to the significance of the listed building and conservation area, combined with the absence of sufficient public benefits to outweigh that harm, resulted in conflict with local plan heritage policies and the Framework.
