Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposal on the amenity, including the character and appearance, of the area; having particular regard to its effect on the setting and thereby the significance of the Grade II listed building known as 'Parish Church of St Margaret, Station Road'
the effect of the proposal on public safety

What decided it

The visual harm caused by the siting of the large, illuminated street hub unit in a prominent location within the setting of a Grade II listed building, combined with its discordant appearance in the established street scene, outweighed the public benefits offered by the proposal.

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
