Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including any effects on the setting of the Hammersmith Town Hall Conservation Area
- whether or not the proposal would be conducive to a high quality pedestrian environment having regard to the free flow of pedestrian traffic and related safety within Hammersmith Town Centre
What decided it
The street hub unit with its digital advertisement screen would appear as an unduly prominent, bulky and discordant feature that would unacceptably harm the character and appearance of this part of King Street, and this harm could not be outweighed by the moderate public benefits offered.
