Proposal
The proposals comprise sensitive internal repair and refurbishment works to a Grade 2 listed building used as the London headquarters of Mangera Yvars Architects (MYAA). The works take a deliberate light-touch approach across the building's four floors, prioritising structural repair and modest functional improvements whilst preserving the building's historic character. - Structural repair to deflecting internal floors and central staircase. - Restoration and repainting of existing wall decorations, skirtings, cornices, stairs, doors in keeping with the building's original historic character. - New oak timber floorboards laid over floors and stairs throughout. - Replacement of existing lead pipes with new internal plumbing and drainage. - Partial removal of a recently added partition wall at upper ground floor to create an open lobby and exhibition space. - Addition of a door to an existing partition at second floor level to improve means of escape. - New WC facilities and staff shower at lower ground and first and second floor levels.

What a grant of permission means
The process from here
Permission has been granted, usually subject to conditions listed on the decision notice, some of which must be discharged before work starts. The decision notice on the council portal sets out exactly what was approved.
Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses. Neighbours cannot appeal a grant; challenging one means judicial review of how the decision was made, within tight time limits.
About heritage and listed buildings applications
How this application type works
Heritage applications concern listed buildings and conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for works, inside or out, that affect the special interest of a listed building, and carrying out such works without consent is a criminal offence. The council weighs harm to the heritage asset against any public benefit of the proposal.
