Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposals on visual amenity and the character and appearance of the area, including whether they would preserve the settings of nearby listed buildings and the Newcastle Central Conservation Area

What decided it

The proposals would be a small, appropriately scaled element within an expansive public realm setting with existing commercial street furniture, and with conditions controlling illumination intensity and hours, would preserve the settings of nearby heritage assets and not harm visual amenity or character and appearance.
