The proposed development, by reason of the complete loss of the existing building which makes a positive contribution to the character of the Holland Park Conservation Area, would result in less than substantial harm to the Holland Park Conservation Area and would fail to preserve the character and appearance of the conservation area. The identified harm would not be outweighed by sufficient public benefits. The proposed development is therefore contrary to development plan policies in particular CL1, CL2, CL3 and CL11 of the Local Plan (2019), and guidance in the National Planning Policy Framework.

Refused despite pre-app advice
To assist applicants in finding solutions to problems arising in relation to their development proposals the Local Planning Authority has produced planning policies, and provided written guidance, all of which are available on the Council's website, and offers a pre-application advice service. Pre-application advice was sought and provided. Unfortunately, this advice was not adhered to. Nevertheless, the Council is ready to enter into discussions with the applicants through the advice service to assist in the preparation of a new planning application.
