Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the site and the local area bearing in mind the special attention that should be paid to the extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Mayfair Conservation Area and the effect of the proposed development on the setting of the Royal Parks Conservation Area
What decided it
The material harm to the appearance of the Mayfair Conservation Area caused by the incongruous design of the canopies was not outweighed by the moderate public benefits, particularly given the considerable importance and weight afforded to the statutory duty to preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the conservation area.
