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 'East Finchley Station Including Platforms, High Road, N2.'

What decided it

The visual prominence, scale, height, and dark materials of the Street Hub unit would introduce a domineering and unsympathetic feature that would harm the distinctive character of the area and the setting of the Grade II listed building, and this harm was not outweighed by the public benefits claimed.
