Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
Because of its location, design and materials the proposed roof structure would harm the setting of the
grade II listed buildings. It would also fail to maintain or improve (preserve or enhance) the character
and appearance of the Trafalgar Square Conservation Area. This would not meet Policies 38, 39 and 40
of the City Plan 2019 - 2040 (April 2021).
