Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Effect of proposed development on character and appearance of area, with particular regard to whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Upper King Street Conservation Area
- Highway safety, with particular regard to pedestrian movement
- Effect of proposed advertisement on amenity and public safety
What decided it
The marginal increase in size of the replacement unit and its location in a broadly similar position to the existing unit, combined with the busy commercial context with existing street furniture and illumination, meant the proposal would not cause unacceptable harm to character, appearance, heritage significance or pedestrian safety.
