Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal preserves the setting of nearby listed buildings
- whether the proposal preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Blackpool Town Centre CA
What decided it
The proposal would form a prominent incongruous feature that would adversely affect the setting of listed buildings and the character and appearance of the conservation area, and cumulatively with an existing nearby hub would cause cumulative harm not outweighed by public benefits.
The less than substantial harm to the setting of listed buildings and the character and appearance of the conservation area was not outweighed by the public benefits, particularly given the existence of a similar hub nearby.
