Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect on the character and appearance of the area, specifically whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Rickmansworth Conservation Area

What decided it

The illuminated advertisement panel, which is integral to the kiosk design, would appear visually prominent and incongruous within the conservation area and would not preserve or enhance its character or appearance, and the modest public benefits do not outweigh this harm.
