Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the siting and appearance of the proposal on highway safety and on the character and appearance of the area and, if any harm would occur, whether this is outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed taking into account any suitable alternatives

What decided it

The proposal would cause unacceptable harm to highway safety through the reduction of pedestrian footway width at a location with high traffic volumes and proximity to a bus stop, and this harm was not outweighed by communications benefits given insufficient evidence of alternative site assessment.

The main issues and the deciding factor are read from the published letter by Town Planner Pro; the letter itself is the record. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Research, not advice.
