Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effects of the proposal on the character, appearance and amenity of the area, and whether any harmful effects would be outweighed by the public benefits of the scheme

What decided it

The proposed structure would appear as a prominent, isolated and incongruous feature in the open, uncluttered streetscape that is being transformed to a high-quality public realm, causing substantial harm to character and appearance that is not outweighed by the public benefits offered.
