Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, including the character, appearance and significance of the Sutton Town Centre High Street Crossroads Conservation Area

What decided it

The proposed hub's height, location and illuminated advertisements would cause less than substantial harm to the Conservation Area's character and appearance, which was not outweighed by the limited and unguaranteed public benefits of the scheme.
