Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would preserve the Grade II listed building known as 13 and 14 Randolph Road W9 and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses and the extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Maida Vale Conservation Area

What decided it

The harm to the special architectural and historic interest of the listed building caused by the deepening of the front lightwell could not be justified by the public benefits of the proposal, which were insufficient to outweigh the great weight attached to heritage conservation.
