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 and emergency access

What decided it

The slender profile, muted colour scheme, and limited footprint of the Street Hub, combined with the removal of existing telephone kiosks, would preserve the character and appearance of the area and not harm public safety or pedestrian movement.
