Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve a Grade II* listed building, known as Numbers 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10 and 11, Lord North Street, and any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses and the extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Smith Square Conservation Area, including from any effects of the proposal on trees
- The effect of the proposal on ground conditions with particular reference to the structural stability of neighbouring structures and infrastructure
What decided it
The harmfully erosive effect of the proposed extension on the architectural integrity, setting and special interest of the Grade II* listed building, combined with insufficient public benefits to outweigh this heritage harm under paragraph 202 of the NPPF.
