Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would conserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Northwood Town Centre – Green Lane Conservation Area and the setting of the listed Northwood War Memorial
- The effect of the proposal on the free flow of pedestrians and vitality of the town centre
What decided it
The modest public benefits of the communications hub would not outweigh the less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area and the setting of the listed war memorial, combined with the adverse effect on pedestrian flow and community use of the town centre.
