Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposed kiosk would form a large prominent addition to the street scene that would increase visual clutter and erode the wide and open character of High Street, with the benefits of the proposal being insufficient to outweigh this harm.

Paragraph 141
