Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area, including the Clapton Square Conservation Area and the setting of the Grade II listed building at 387 Mare Street
  • pedestrian movement, accessibility and public safety

What decided it

The less-than-substantial harm to the significance of the conservation area and the setting of the listed building, given considerable importance and weight under sections 66(1) and 72(1) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, was not outweighed by the modest public benefits of the proposal.
