Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether or not the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the 'Cathedral and City Centre Conservation Area No 1'
- whether or not the proposed development would preserve the setting or features of special architectural or historic interest of nearby Listed Buildings, including Grade I Listed 'Stonebrow and Guildhall' and also Grade I Listed 'High Bridge'
- the effect on 'Stonebrow and Guildhall' and 'High Bridge' which are Scheduled Monuments
What decided it
The appeal proposal would cause less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and to the setting of two Grade I Listed and Scheduled Monuments, and the moderate public benefits of improved communications infrastructure do not outweigh this heritage harm.
