Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
Because of its design and bifolding windows the proposed shopfront would harm the
appearance and special interest of this grade II* listed building. 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). (X17AE)
