Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect on the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including on the significance of the Whitworth Street Conservation Area, and the setting of listed buildings
What decided it
The proposed kiosk's contemporary design and restrained form would not harm the character and appearance of the Whitworth Street Conservation Area or the setting of listed buildings, particularly given the removal of the existing telephone box and the kiosk's siting against the modern Carding Building.
