Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposed communication Hub would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Peterborough City Centre Conservation Area

What decided it

The harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area caused by the prominence and incongruity of the Hub and integrated advertisement outweighed the public benefits of communications infrastructure.

The less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Peterborough City Centre Conservation Area, afforded considerable weight, was not outweighed by the public benefits of communications infrastructure and the range of services provided by the Hub.
