Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Rugeley Town Centre Conservation Area
  • The effect of the proposed advertisement on amenity

What decided it

The size and visual prominence of the hub and associated advertisement panels would cause less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area that is not outweighed by the limited public benefits of the proposal.
