Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed Street Hub and its advertising screens on visual amenity and the character or appearance of the Bishopsgate Conservation Area
- the effect on public safety and convenience
What decided it
The proposed Street Hub's modern design and illuminated advertisements would cause less than substantial harm to the Bishopsgate Conservation Area's character and appearance, which would not be outweighed by the public benefits provided, particularly given the kerbside siting appeared motivated by commercial prominence rather than public usability.
