Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area including whether it would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Central Conservation Area and preserve the setting of the nearby St Stephens Church, a Grade II* listed building
  • The effect of the proposed advertisement on visual amenity

What decided it

The street hub, despite its modern appearance and illumination, would not appear as an unduly visually apparent or discordant element within the existing townscape and would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the conservation area and the setting and significance of the Grade II* listed building.
