Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the existing building, and whether the development preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the St John's Wood Conservation Area

What decided it

The development fails to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the St John's Wood Conservation Area, and the less than substantial harm to its significance is not outweighed by the modest public benefits claimed.

Framework references: 212, 215

Plan policies cited: Policy 38, Policy 39, Policy 40
