Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
Because of its functional appearance and prominent location in the front lightwell (and the
detailed design of basement door), the duct works would harm the appearance and setting of
this grade II listed building. It would also fail to maintain or improve (preserve or enhance) the
character and appearance of the Bayswater Conservation Area. This would not meet Policies
38, 39 and 40 of the City Plan 2019 - 2040 (April 2021).
