Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve the Grade II listed building of Nos. 20 and 21 and attached railings, New King Street, or its setting, or any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses.
What decided it
The level of harm to the significance of the Grade II listed building, being less than substantial but not outweighed by the public benefits demonstrated, required the appeal to be dismissed in accordance with the statutory duty to preserve listed buildings.
