It doesn't.

The
application was actually trying to recreate the original look of the
tiling, which is currently a mixture of original vitreous enamel and
later ceramic tiles, some quite modern. It would revitalise a "tired
public transport facility" in the words of your officers.


Proof if any were necessary of the ridiculously arbitrary and subjective
nature of the listing process.

No building under 100 years old should be listed period.



Your decision appears vindictive to me.


Of course it is. Did you expect anything better from pettyfogging
officialdom.
