Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the proposed development and works would preserve the Grade II listed building known as '3-9, Bedford Gardens W8' and any features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
- Whether or not the proposed development and works would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the conservation area
- The effect of the proposal upon the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, having particular regard to privacy, outlook, and access to light
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the listed building and conservation area, arising from the failure to respect the historic hierarchy of spaces and plan form, could not be outweighed by the minimal public benefits of the proposal.
