Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Appeal A: 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
- Appeal B: the effect of the proposed advertisement on visual amenity
What decided it
The street hub would not appear as an unduly apparent or anomalous addition to the streetscape and would not harm the character and appearance of the area or the significance of the Conservation Area, particularly given the removal of 2 existing telephone booths would prevent visual clutter.
