Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Town Centre Conservation Area
  • The effect of the proposal on community safety, having regard to crime

What decided it

The visual harm to the character and appearance of the Town Centre Conservation Area, being less than substantial but not outweighed by the limited public benefits of the ATM, meant the proposal failed to accord with the development plan.
