Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether or not the proposed corridor between the closet wing and the outbuilding (the glazed link) would preserve the Grade II listed building known as '3-9, Bedford Gardens W8' and any features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
  • Whether or not the proposed glazed link would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the conservation area

What decided it

The glazed link's light-touch, frameless specification and discreet rear location would preserve the listed building's special interest and the conservation area's character and appearance.
