Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The conspicuous and discordant visual impact of the kiosk in an open streetscape with minimal street furniture, combined with the uncharacteristic digital advertisement display, would significantly harm the character and appearance of the area and outweigh the limited public benefits of the proposal.

- Development plan policies
- Policy CLP20
