Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including the surrounding townscape and public realm
- the setting of the grade II listed building whose statutory address is Barclays Bank, 1434 London Road
- pedestrian movement
- highway and crime safety
- the effect of the proposed advertisements on visual amenity
- the effect of the proposed advertisements on highway and crime safety
What decided it
The removal of the existing neglected telephone box and its replacement with a more neutral, better-detailed street hub would improve the character and appearance of the area and preserve the setting of the listed building without material harm to pedestrian movement or highway and crime safety.
