Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the special interest of the Grade II listed building of 187 Bermondsey Street or any features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
  • The effect upon the setting of the Grade II* listed Church of Mary Magdalene and Grade II listed 191 Bermondsey Street
  • Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of Bermondsey Street Conservation Area

What decided it

The identified less than substantial harm to the heritage assets and conservation area was not outweighed by clear and convincing justification, as the benefits were private rather than public and no evidence demonstrated the proposal was the only solution to the appellants' concerns.
