Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the Town Hall Conservation Area

What decided it

The proposed hub would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the Town Hall Conservation Area by appearing as an unsympathetic, incongruous addition that would obscure valued views along Newport Street, and the public benefits of the proposal would not outweigh this harm.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
CG3.2TC11.1
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 208

How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
