Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • highway and pedestrian safety

What decided it

The proposed hub would not harm character and appearance or highway and pedestrian safety because the removal of the existing bulky, graffiti-marked kiosk would offset any visual impact, and the hub's siting would not impede sightlines or pedestrian movement at the busy junction.
