Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area and its amenity, including consideration of the setting of listed buildings and the preservation of the character or appearance of the conservation area
- The effect of the proposal on the movement of pedestrians and other footway users (including those with restricted mobility and wheelchair users) and public safety
What decided it
The proposal's location within an already busy commercial street environment with diverse ground floor uses meant the Smart Hub would not appear as incongruous clutter and would preserve conservation area character while maintaining adequate pedestrian and highway safety.
