Scheme description

Internal refurbishment of property and removal and replacement of existing staircase from ground floor to third floor level including incorporation of reused fabric from existing second to third floor level staircase, removal and replacement of existing lower ground to ground floor level staircase incorporating re-used fabric from existing staircase removed, installation of lift from lower ground to third floor levels; internal alterations including alterations to partitions, replacement of internal finishes, and refurbishment of windows

Why it was refused
Reason 1

Because of its form and the relationship to the window openings on the front elevation, the new internal staircase structure would harm the significance of this Grade II listed building. This would be against the advice set out in Policy 39 of the City Plan 2019 - 2040 (April 2021) and the advice set out in our Supplementary Planning Guidance: 'Repairs and Alterations to Listed Buildings'. (X18AD)
