Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposal on pedestrian and highway safety
What decided it
The proposal causes unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area through its height, materials and visual prominence, and increases potential for highway safety conflicts through reduced visibility, neither of which is justified by the appellant's security and safety arguments.
