the installation of a multifunctional communication Hub including defibrillator and advertisement display

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would preserve the settings of 1 St Peters Street, 1-2 Albert Street, former Royal Hotel (listed grade II), the City Centre Conservation Area and 11 St Peters Street (non-designated heritage asset) and whether the proposals would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Green Lane Conservation Area

What decided it

The harm to heritage assets and visual amenity caused by the large dominant freestanding structure and advertisement display in the open streetscape outweighs the modest public benefits of the communications hub and defibrillator.

Framework references: 114, 199, 200, 202

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.
