Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including whether it would preserve or enhance the significance of the Kings Cross/St Pancras Conservation Area and the Grade II Listed Building, 356-364 Gray's Inn Road through development within its setting
- whether the proposal would achieve an appropriate level of community safety at the locality
- the effect of the proposal on pedestrian safety
What decided it
The less than substantial but considerable harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area and the setting of the listed building, combined with the failure to achieve appropriate community safety, outweighed the public benefits of the proposal.
The less than substantial harm to the Kings Cross/St Pancras Conservation Area and the setting of Willing House, together with the failure to achieve appropriate community safety, was not outweighed by the public benefits of improved connectivity and emergency services.
