Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect that the proposal would have on the character and appearance of the Charlotte Street Conservation Area
Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the setting of 200-208 Tottenham Court Road, a Grade II Listed Building
Its effect on highway and/or pedestrian safety

What decided it

The proposed BT Street Hub and digital advertisements would harm the character and appearance of the Charlotte Street Conservation Area and the setting of the Grade II Listed Building, and would pose a risk to highway and pedestrian safety through visual distraction near a busy crossing and station entrance.

The significant, less than substantial harm to the heritage assets and character and appearance of the area is not outweighed by the public benefits of access to free WiFi and related information.
