Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the proposal on heritage assets
  • The effect on pedestrian and/or highway safety

What decided it

The proposed Hub unit would introduce an alien and incongruous feature that would harm the character and appearance of the area and result in less than substantial harm to the setting of the Conservation Area, and the digital advertisement would present a risk to pedestrian and highway safety, and the community benefits would not outweigh these harms.

The community benefits would not outweigh the harm to character and appearance, the less than substantial harm to the setting of the Conservation Area, and the risk to pedestrian and highway safety.
