®Planning appeal decision
9 Fitzroy Mews, Camden, London, W1T 6DJ
Planning appeal 6006275 at 9 Fitzroy Mews, Camden, London, W1T 6DJ (London Borough of Camden) was dismissed on 24 July 2026 by Inspector L C Hughes, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the local area considering the special attention that should be paid to the desirability of preserving the setting of the nearby Grade II*, 20-32 Fitzroy Square, and Grade II, 78-80 Grafton Way listed buildings, and the extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Fitzroy Square Conservation Area.

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the local area considering the special attention that should be paid to the desirability of preserving the setting of the nearby Grade II*, 20-32 Fitzroy Square, and Grade II, 78-80 Grafton Way listed buildings, and the extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Fitzroy Square Conservation Area
- the living conditions of the occupants of 27 and 28 Fitzroy Square with regard to privacy
What decided it
The cumulative increase in height and perceived massing of the appeal dwelling would materially diminish the functional and spatial relationship between the listed buildings and the mews, failing to preserve their heritage significance, and this harm could not be justified by the modest public benefits of the proposal.

- Policy D1Policy D2Policy A1
