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 the safety and movement of pedestrians and other footway users
- whether the proposal would accord with local policies with regard to the need for defibrillators
What decided it
The hub's appropriate siting within a wide pedestrianised area with sufficient space for pedestrian movement, combined with its visual compatibility with the contemporary town centre environment and the public benefit of the defibrillator provision, outweighed the Council's concerns.
