  • Appeal B: effect on amenity and public safety

What decided it

The proposal would replace an existing modern unit with a marginally larger replacement in a busy commercial setting with existing street furniture and modern buildings, and would not cause discernible harm to the setting of listed buildings or pedestrian safety when subject to appropriate conditions controlling illumination.
