Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect that the proposal would have on the character and appearance of the area
- Its effect on highway and/or pedestrian safety
What decided it
The proposed development would harm the character and appearance of the area by introducing an incongruous, large and imposing structure into a green, spacious and uncluttered environment, and the identified benefits did not outweigh this significant harm.
The community benefits arising from the proposal, including free Wi-Fi and other services, did not outweigh the significant harm to the character and appearance of the area.
