Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of existing occupiers, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
  • whether the proposed development would preserve the setting of adjacent listed buildings
  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the Mayfair Conservation Area

What decided it

The proposal would fail to preserve the setting of adjacent listed buildings and would cause harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through noise and disturbance, with insufficient public benefits to outweigh this harm.

Framework references: 205, 206, 208
