- Inspector
- Storey P
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed advertisements would have an acceptable effect on the visual amenity of the area, including whether they would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Conservation Area
- Whether the proposed advertisements would have an acceptable effect on public safety
- Whether the proposed development would have an acceptable effect on the character and appearance of the area, including whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Conservation Area
- Whether the proposed development would have an acceptable effect on highway and pedestrian safety
What decided it
The pavement's generous width and the visually diverse, commercially active character of the area meant the Smart Hub would not appear incongruous, dominant, or harmful to visual amenity, highway safety, or pedestrian safety, and would preserve the Conservation Area's significance.
