- the effect on the setting of the grade 1 listed building whose statutory address is the Hospital of the Holy Trinity (Whitgift Hospital) North End
- pedestrian movement
- crime safety
What decided it
The replacement of existing phone boxes with a more visually refined street hub that would improve rather than harm the character and appearance of the conservation area setting, combined with effective management conditions to address crime safety concerns.
