Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would preserve the Grade II listed building and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
  • The extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Bayswater Conservation Area

What decided it

The railings fail to preserve the special interest of the Grade II listed building and the character and appearance of the Bayswater Conservation Area, causing less than substantial but considerable harm to designated heritage assets with no significant public benefits to outweigh this harm.
