Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance and visual amenity of the area, including proposed lighting
  • the effect of the proposal on public safety

What decided it

The proposed hub would be overly dominant and visually intrusive in the local context and would unacceptably reduce pavement width, harming both visual amenity and pedestrian safety, with public benefits insufficient to outweigh these harms.
