Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including the settings of the Market Place and Granby Street Conservation Areas, and the setting of the Grade II listed building known as '1, Granby Street (Natwest) and 2, Horsefair Street'
  • The useability of a pedestrianised area, with particular regard to pedestrian and cycle movement
  • The effect of the proposed advertisement on the visual amenity of the area having regard to whether it would preserve the settings of nearby Conservation Areas and the listed building

What decided it

The proposal would fail to preserve the settings of the Market Place and Granby Street Conservation Areas and the listed building, and would substantially impair the usability of the pedestrianised area for pedestrians and cyclists, with public benefits insufficient to outweigh the identified harms.
