Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the Northwood Town Centre, Green Lane Conservation Area, and its effect on pedestrian movement and public safety
What decided it
The harm to the conservation area's character and appearance caused by the modern, prominently illuminated Hub with double-sided LCD screens would not be outweighed by the modest public benefits of the communications infrastructure.
