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, inaccurate and inconsistent submitted drawings prevented proper assessment of the proposal's effects on designated heritage assets, and the identified less than substantial harm to the significance of the listed building and conservation area could not be outweighed by the public benefits of improved accessibility.
