Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the street scene, with particular regard to the setting of the Bloomsbury Conservation Area
- The effect on highway safety and pedestrians
- Whether the proposal would increase opportunities for crime and anti-social behaviour
- The provision of a maintenance plan
What decided it
The proposal would cause less than substantial harm to the significance of the Bloomsbury Conservation Area through its effect on the setting, and the public benefits identified did not outweigh this harm when considered against the requirement to give great weight to conservation of designated heritage assets.
