Why it was refused

  1. - Insufficient information has been provided to demonstrate that the proposed development would not adversely impact the historic or architectural significance of the Grade II Listed Building. Furthermore, the inaccuracies within the submitted plans further prevent the Local Planning Authority from properly assessing the extent of the works or their potential impact. The application is therefore contrary to policies S.DH1 and S.DH3 of the Tower Hamlets Local Plan: 2031 (2020) and policies D4 and HC1 of the London Plan (2021).

From the council's decision notice.
