Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance/amenity of the area including the setting of heritage assets
- The effect of the proposal on highway safety and pedestrian mobility
- Whether the proposal would be likely to increase opportunities for crime, disorder and anti-social behaviour in the area
What decided it
The replacement of the existing larger kiosk with a smaller, modern design that reduces street furniture clutter while maintaining pedestrian safety and addressing crime concerns through appropriate conditions made the proposal acceptable on its merits.
