Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal upon the significance of the grade II listed building known as 42-45 Wilton Square and attached railings, and whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Arlington Square Conservation Area
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring dwellings to either side of the appeal building
What decided it
The considerable harm to the listed building's significance and the failure to preserve the conservation area's character, combined with limited public benefits that do not outweigh this harm in accordance with paragraph 212 of the Framework, and the harmful impact on neighbouring living conditions through overlooking.
