Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would preserve a Grade II listed building
- whether the proposal would preserve the setting of adjacent Grade II listed buildings
- whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Bloomsbury Conservation Area
What decided it
The wholly inadequate submitted evidence regarding the proposal means it is not possible to conclude that the limited public benefits would outweigh the less than substantial harm to the significance of designated heritage assets that would be caused, and the Inspector is not satisfied the proposal could even be implemented as shown.
Plan policies cited: Policy D1 (design), Policy D2 (heritage)
