Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect upon the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to the setting of the Grade II listed Centre Point complex and the Denmark Street Conservation Area
What decided it
The combination of the height and fixed nature of the proposed planters and screens would create a sense of enclosure at odds with the open character of St Giles Square and would harm the setting of the listed building and conservation area character, with no public benefits sufficient to outweigh this less than substantial harm.
