Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on public safety
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host building and surrounding area, including whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Belgravia Conservation Area or preserve the setting of the adjacent Grade II listed buildings and unlisted buildings of merit
What decided it
The positioning of the planters adjacent to the footpath at a busy junction corner leaves insufficient space for pedestrians, particularly those with mobility aids, to pass safely without stepping into traffic, creating unacceptable harm to public safety that cannot be justified even on a temporary basis.
