Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the material change of use on the safety and ease of movement of pedestrians, with particular regard to the Thames Pathway
- the effect of the material change of use on the provision of public open space
- the effect of the material change of use on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to the Borough High Street Conservation Area
What decided it
The change of use is consistent with the character and appearance of the conservation area and does not cause unacceptable harm to pedestrian safety, ease of movement, or public open space provision, and conditions can adequately control the placement of items on the land.
