- Veevers A
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed roof extension at 6 Upper Wimpole Street would preserve the Grade II listed building, 1-6 Upper Wimpole Street W1, or any features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
- whether the proposed roof extension would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Harley Street Conservation Area
What decided it
The fallback position under the 1990 permissions, which would result in greater harm to the listed building and conservation area than the appeal proposals, constituted a material consideration of significant weight sufficient to justify the permitting of development that failed to accord with the development plan.
