NWP Kiosks, O/S Boots 7 - 11 Market Street, Halifax, Calderdale, HX1 1PB

replacement of existing double telephone kiosk with new telephone kiosk which includes integrated digital advertising display

Authority: Calderdale Metropolitan Borough Council
Appeal type: advert · Advertisement Appeal
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: advertisement · Other minor developments
Inspector: McCormack A

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Appeal A: the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the Halifax Town Conservation Area (HTCA) and the setting of nearby listed buildings, with particular regard to preserving and enhancing their significance
Appeal B: the effect of the proposed illuminated digital advertisement display on the visual amenity of the HTCA and the Grade II* listed Borough Market building

What decided it

The frequently changing illuminated digital advertisement display at street level would visually dominate and appear incongruous within the historic street scene of the conservation area and would constitute significant unacceptable harm to the setting and significance of the nearby Grade II* listed Borough Market building.

Framework references: 136

Plan policies cited: Policy BT1, Policy HE1, Policy RT5

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.

Every English appeal since 2016, with the letter behind it wherever the Inspectorate published one. Searched by meaning as well as by words, with the key case law counted live across the letters.

Casework that chases the deadlines. Applications, appeals and conditions with their statutory dates.

The judgement stays yours. The tool gathers the material and dates it.
