Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposals on the character, appearance, and visual amenity of the area
  • The effect of the proposal on public safety, with particular regard to the pedestrian environment

What decided it

The Street Hub's slender profile and muted colour scheme would result in a less conspicuous structure than the existing telephone kiosks it replaces, improving rather than harming the character and appearance of the town centre, while maintaining adequate pedestrian space and safety.
