Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The impact on the living conditions of nearby occupiers having regard to overlooking and privacy
- The effect of the proposal on the special interest of the Grade II listed building 29-31, Knox Street W1 and the character and appearance of the Portman Estate Conservation Area
What decided it
The harm to the special interest of the listed building and the character and appearance of the conservation area, combined with the overlooking and privacy harm to neighbouring occupiers, could not be justified by the identified public benefits.
