Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Central Historic Core Conservation Area
- The effect upon the settings of listed buildings surrounding St. Helen's Square including the Grade I listed Mansion House and Grade II* St. Helen's Church
- Public safety
What decided it
The size, height, appearance and changing digital images of the proposed hub would unacceptably detract from the spacious character of St. Helen's Square and harm the settings of listed buildings, and the identified public benefits do not outweigh this heritage harm.
