Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area and specifically whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Conservation Area
  • Highway safety
  • Crime and antisocial behaviour

What decided it

The proposal as a replacement structure on the same footprint with similar dimensions to the existing kiosk, combined with appropriate conditions controlling illumination and design features, would not unacceptably harm the character and appearance of the Conservation Area or compromise highway safety and community safety.

Framework references: 123
