Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve a Grade II listed building known as 'The Borough Hall and Meridian House (Former Greenwich Town Hall)' or any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
- The extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the West Greenwich Conservation Area and the Maritime Greenwich World Heritage Site
What decided it
The public benefits of improved digital communications and connectivity were not sufficient to outweigh the moderate less than substantial harm to the special interest of the Grade II listed building and the significance of the conservation area and World Heritage Site, particularly given that alternative sites had not been sufficiently robustly assessed.
