Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the Central Croydon Conservation Area and the protected view of the Town Hall clock tower
  • pedestrian movement
  • crime safety

What decided it

The acceptance of a siting condition to position the street hub centrally between the two benches resolved the pedestrian movement objection, allowing the appeal to proceed on the basis that the replacement of the phone boxes with a more refined design would improve the character and appearance of the Conservation Area.
