Why it was refused
Reason
As stated on the decision notice
1
Because of their size, appearance and location the proposed CCTV cameras and poles would harm the
setting of the neighbouring grade II listed building at 14-25 Princes Gate. This would not meet Policy 44
of the City Plan 2019 - 2040 (January 2026). (X20AD)
2
Because of their size, appearance and location the proposed CCTV cameras and poles would fail to
maintain or improve (preserve or enhance) the character and appearance of the Knightsbridge
Conservation Area. This would not meet Policies 42, 44, 45, 48 and 49 of the City Plan 2019 - 2040
(January 2026).
