Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the details submitted in respect of lighting meet the requirements of Condition 11 and demonstrate that the proposed development would preserve the special interest of the Grade II listed building known as Warwick House, and preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the St James's Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposed lighting, comprising traditional lanterns and contemporary recessed units and LED strips of modest size and minimalist form, would preserve the special interest of the listed building and the character and appearance of the conservation area by maintaining the legibility of the building's architectural and functional hierarchy and the utilitarian character of the lower ground floor service spaces.
