Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed hub and display on the character and appearance of the area
  • Whether the proposals would lead to increased risk to pedestrian and highway safety

What decided it

The proposed hub and advertisement display would be a distraction at a critical junction point with pedestrian crossings and bus stops, creating an unacceptable increased risk to pedestrian and highway safety, and would appear distinctly out of place in the carefully designed streetscape.
