Why it was refused

Condition 5 requires drawings to show the removal of over throw lamp and frame to entrance railings. The submitted details do not relate to the subject matter. As such, the City Council is not satisfied that the works would protect the special architectural or historic interest of this building or make sure the development contributes to the character and appearance of the Mayfair Conservation Area in accordance with Policies 42 and 44 of the City Plan 2019 - 2040 (January 2026).

From the council's decision notice.
