Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed developments/advertisements on the visual amenity of the area, having regard to the setting of the Lady Herbert's Garden Conservation Area, the Hill Top Conservation Area and whether the proposed developments/advertisements would preserve the listed buildings (Holy Trinity Church Grade I, Old Grammar School Grade I, Blue Coat School Grade II*, The Ribbon Factory Grade II) or their settings
- Public Safety (Appeals C and D)
What decided it
The less than substantial but significant harm to the settings of designated heritage assets and visual amenity, accorded great weight under paragraph 215 of the Framework and section 66(1) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, outweighed the moderate public benefits of the proposed developments.
The less than substantial harm to the significance of designated heritage assets and visual amenity, given great weight, was not outweighed by the moderate public benefits arising from the provision of electronic communication systems, defibrillator, Wi-Fi, green energy and advertising.
