Why it was refused

  1. The submitted details do not correspond to the approved drawings under listed building consent RN: 25/05109/LBC and would introduce a door design that is not historically informed or appropriate to the architectural character of the building. The proposal would fail to preserve the special architectural interest of the listed building and the character of the Eaton Square Conservation Area, contrary to Section 16 and Section 66(1) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, Policies 38, 39 and 40 of the Westminster City Plan, and paragraphs 208-210 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024).

From the council's decision notice.
