Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

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

What decided it

The visual harm caused by the appreciably taller and wider hub unit with large advertisement panels dominating the streetscape and reinforcing clutter, combined with the narrowing of an already constrained pedestrian route, outweighs the benefits of removing telephone boxes and the public services offered by the hub.
