Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Appeal A: the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the street scene, with particular regard to the setting of the Bloomsbury and Kingsway Conservation Areas; the effect on highway safety and pedestrians; whether the proposal would increase opportunities for crime and anti-social behaviour; and whether appropriate provision is made for maintenance
- Appeal B: the effect of the proposal on the amenity of the street scene; and the effect on public safety
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to the significance of the Bloomsbury and Kingsway Conservation Areas through development within their setting, which could not be outweighed by the modest public benefits of the proposal.
