This would not meet Policy 45 A. 2. Of the City Plan 2019-2040 (April 2021) and Policy BEL4 of the Belgravia Neighbourhood Plan 2023-2040 (March 2024). Note: Important Notes Relating to the Council’s Decision TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING ACT 1990 PLANNING (LISTED BUILDINGS AND CONSERVATION AREAS) ACT 1990 1.
