Agenda item

The Committee received a report of the CPO in relation to planning permission and listed building consent for the installation of a freestanding overhead canopy at 50 Liverpool Street.

The CPO advised that the siting, size, design and appearance of the proposed structure would constitute visual clutter and would detract from the special architectural and historic interest and significance of the listed building, from the setting of the Andaz London Liverpool Street Hotel and Metropolitan Arcade and the character, appearance and significance of the Bishopsgate Conservation Area, contrary to the relevant policies.

Arising from the discussion the application was put to the vote, the result of which was as follows:

18  votes in favour

0       votes against

1       Abstention

RESOLVED -

That Planning Permission be refused for the reasons set out in the attached schedule.
