Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the visual amenity of the area, having particular regard to its effect on the setting and thereby the significance of the Grade II listed building known as 'The Promenade, 25 to 89 and 91 to 103 Golders Green Road' and to whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Golders Green Town Centre Conservation Area
What decided it
The scale, height, and large illuminated displays of the Street Hub unit would be visually prominent and discordant in a sensitive heritage location, causing less than substantial harm to the significance of both the conservation area and listed building that was not outweighed by the public benefits offered.
