Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including whether it would preserve or enhance the Central Croydon Conservation Area, and the significance of locally listed buildings
- The functioning of the public realm
- Highway and pedestrian safety
- The effect of the proposed advertisement on the visual amenity of the area and public safety
What decided it
The harm to the significance of the Central Croydon Conservation Area caused by the size and position of the proposed Hub unit and advertisement, which would not be outweighed by the public benefits offered, particularly given the statutory requirement to pay special attention to preserving and enhancing the conservation area.
