Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve the Grade II listed building of 20 Conduit Street or its setting, or any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
- The extent to which the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Mayfair Conservation Area
- Whether the proposal would preserve the setting of the nearby Grade I listed Church of St George, Vestry and Obelisks
What decided it
The magnitude of less than substantial harm to the special interest of the Grade II listed building and the character of the Mayfair Conservation Area was not outweighed by the modest economic benefits of an additional 38 square metres of office floorspace.
