Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Appeal A: the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the immediate area, including the setting of various heritage assets
- Appeal A: the effect of the proposal on pedestrian movement and public safety
- Appeal B: the effect of the proposal on amenity and public safety
What decided it
The harm to the significance of the listed building and structures caused by the prominence of the Street Hub and illuminated advertisements would not be outweighed by the modest public benefits of improved digital connectivity and accessibility features.
