Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve a Grade II listed building, Warwick House, and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses, preserve the setting of neighbouring heritage assets, and the extent to which it would preserve, or enhance, the character or appearance of the St James's Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposed canopy would cause less than substantial but considerable harm to the special architectural interest and aesthetic value of the Grade II listed building by obscuring important architectural details and appearing disproportionately large, and the absence of substantive public benefits meant this harm could not be justified.
The less than substantial but considerable harm to the special architectural interest and aesthetic value of the Grade II listed building was not outweighed by the minor and largely private benefits of the proposal, resulting in dismissal.
