Why it was refused

  1. Your submission does not include sufficient information regarding the condition of, or damage to, the historic fireplace surround to enable the Council to fully assess the impact of the proposed works on the significance of the listed building. In the absence of this information, it is considered that the proposed works could harm the special architectural and historic interest of the listed building. The proposal would therefore fail to comply with Policy 44 of Westminster's City Plan 2019-2040 (January 2026) and the guidance set out in the Council's Supplementary Planning Guidance: Repairs and Alterations to Listed Buildings.
  2. Due to the unsympathetic nature of the proposed interventions, the works would cause harm to the special architectural and historic interest of this Grade II listed building. As such, the proposals would be contrary to Policy 44 of the City Plan 2019-2040 (January 2026) and the guidance contained within the Council's Supplementary Planning Guidance: Repairs and Alterations to Listed Buildings (X18AD).

From the council's decision notice.
