Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the communications hub would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Central Conservation Area
  • Whether it would preserve the settings of nearby listed buildings
  • The effect of the proposal on the safety of pedestrians and cyclists
  • The effect of the advertisement on visual amenity

What decided it

The less than substantial harm to the significance of the designated heritage assets and visual amenity of the conservation area, combined with the detrimental effect on pedestrian and cyclist safety, was not outweighed by the limited public benefits of the communications infrastructure and defibrillator.
