Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- For Appeal A: (i) the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area and (ii) whether the proposal takes opportunities to integrate sustainable design and construction principles
- For Appeal B: the effect of the proposed advertisement on the visual amenity of the area
What decided it
The hub's contemporary design and integrated advertisements would assimilate well within the modern, commercial context of Fitzroy Street and would not result in excessive visual clutter or harm to the character and appearance of the area or the setting of the nearby listed building.
