Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed communication hub would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Wood Street Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposal would not preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Wood Street Conservation Area, and the limited public benefits would not outweigh the less than substantial harm identified.
The less than substantial harm to the conservation area was weighed against the relatively limited public benefits of the communication hub services, with the harm outweighing the benefits.
