Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area with particular regard to its impact on various heritage assets
  • Whether sufficient information has been provided to demonstrate that the level of noise and disturbance from the ducts would harm the amenity of neighbouring occupiers

What decided it

The visual prominence and excessive height of duct number 5 relative to the rear elevation, combined with its harmful impact on the setting of the listed mews building and the conservation area character, outweighs the moderate public benefits of the restaurant use.
