Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including the setting of the Willesden Green Conservation Area
- The effect of the proposal on public safety
- The effect of the light emitted from the proposed LCD advertisement screens on nearby sensitive properties
What decided it
The unacceptable and harmful effect on the character and appearance of the area caused by the visual clutter and architectural clash of the proposed Street Hub with its large LCD screens against the striking contemporary architecture of the library building outweighed the moderate benefits of improved digital infrastructure and services to the community.
