Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including its effect on the setting and significance of the Brixton and Trinity Gardens Conservation Areas and the setting and significance of statutory and locally listed buildings
- Pedestrian safety and crime and anti-social behaviour
What decided it
The proposal would not introduce undue visual clutter or harm heritage assets due to its position amongst modern street furniture and the application of conditions controlling illuminance levels, combined with the absence of evidence that the development would increase crime and anti-social behaviour risks given the Management Plan measures and natural surveillance.
