Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Appeal A: effects of the proposed advertisement on (i) the visual amenity of the area and (ii) public safety, with particular regard to the free flow of pedestrian movement and CCTV coverage
Appeal B: effects of the proposed development on (i) the character and appearance of the area and (ii) public safety, with particular regard to the free flow of pedestrian movement and CCTV coverage

The proposed kiosk's siting and orientation would unduly harm the visual amenity and character and appearance of the pedestrianised town centre street through visual clutter, contrary to the development plan and NPPF paragraph 136, and this harm was not outweighed by the benefits offered.
