Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host building, including whether it would preserve or enhance the Far Gosford Street Conservation Area
  • the living conditions of the occupants of neighbouring residential properties having regard to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The proposal would cause less than substantial harm to the significance of the designated heritage asset (Far Gosford Street Conservation Area) with no public benefits to outweigh this harm, and would create potential for unacceptable noise and disturbance from the roller shutter without adequate mitigation details.
