Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed 'Street Hub' unit and associated advertisement on public safety, with particular regard to the safe and efficient operation of the highway

What decided it

The proposal would harm public safety by creating an obstacle to pedestrian movement and crowd flow, particularly on match days when the adjacent stadium is in use, and this harm cannot be adequately mitigated through planning conditions or legal agreement.
