Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including the Historic City Conservation Area
  • The effect of the proposal on archaeological remains

What decided it

The proposal's slender profile, replacement of existing street furniture, and compatibility with the existing vibrant commercial character of High Street, combined with appropriate conditions to manage visual impact and archaeological safeguards, justified approval despite the conservation area location.
