- The effect of the proposal on highway safety along Cornmarket Street with particular regard to pedestrian movement
- The effect of the proposed advertisement on the character, appearance and amenity of the Central Conservation Area
What decided it
The harm to the character and appearance of the Central Conservation Area and the setting of nearby Listed Buildings, caused by the hub's prominent siting, scale and design, outweighed the public benefits of the proposed services.
