Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve a Grade II listed building, '20-33, Thurloe Square', or any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses
- The effect of the proposed restaurant and kitchen extraction equipment on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, regarding noise and odour
- The effect of servicing for the proposal on the local highway network
What decided it
The proposal would fail to preserve the listed building and its features of special architectural or historic interest due to the harmful effect of proposed internal partitions, and would harm neighbouring living conditions through inadequately detailed noise and odour mitigation, with insufficient public benefits to outweigh these harms.
