Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host building, and whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Bayswater Conservation Area
  • users of the public highway

What decided it

The replacement of the forecourt tiles with black encaustic tiles would introduce a discordant feature that causes less than substantial harm to the conservation area's significance, which cannot be outweighed by the modest public benefits of the overall property enhancement.
