- minor · Planning Appeal
- Procedure
- Written Representations
- Development
- residential · Other minor developments
- Inspector
- McDonagh C
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposals would preserve the listed building or any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses
- Whether the proposals would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Belgravia Conservation Area
- Whether the proposed landscaping elements, including soil depth and green roofs and walls, are sufficient to meet the requirements of the development plan (Appeal B only)
What decided it
The cumulative harm to the special architectural and historic interest of the Grade II listed building and the Belgravia Conservation Area, combined with inadequate landscaping provision, was not outweighed by the limited public benefits of the scheme.
