Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve a Grade II listed building, 24-32, 33A, 34A and 35A Pembroke Square, W8, and any features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
- Whether the character or appearance of the Edwardes Square, Scarsdale and Abingdon Conservation Area would be preserved or enhanced
What decided it
The additional storey to the closet wing would disrupt the rhythm and uniformity of closet wing extensions within the terrace and fail to read as a subordinate addition, thereby harming the character and integrity of the listed building and Conservation Area, with insufficient public benefits to outweigh this harm.
