Inspector
Teasdale N

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • The effect of the proposed development on highway safety
  • Whether the proposed development would undermine the safe environment
  • The effect of the proposed advertisement on public safety

What decided it

The Anti-Social Behaviour Management Plan, combined with the street hub's alignment with the commercial character of the area and absence of unacceptable highway safety impacts, justified allowing both appeals subject to conditions controlling brightness, animation, and maintenance.

Framework references: 116, 96, 135

Plan policies cited: Policy IN7, Policy DC1, Policy CR2, Policy CR8, Policy CS5
