Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host building, with particular regard to whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Soho Conservation Area
- The effect of the proposed development on highway safety, with particular regard to the free flow of pedestrians
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the host building and the Soho Conservation Area caused by the proposed awning and replacement shopfront, which was not outweighed by clearly articulated public benefits.
