Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposals would be likely to increase opportunities for crime, disorder and anti-social behaviour
- The effect on the character and appearance of the area and its amenity, including the setting of listed buildings and whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of conservation areas
- The effect of the proposal on the safe and efficient operation of the highway and public safety
What decided it
The replacement of an enclosed kiosk with a simpler, open design that reduces crime risk and improves pedestrian flow, combined with conditions controlling the illuminated advertisement's impact on the character and appearance of the area, outweighed concerns about the introduction of digital advertising.
