Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the local area, with particular regard to whether it would preserve or enhance character or appearance of the St Ann's Square Conservation Area and the setting of nearby listed buildings
  • Highway safety, with particular regard to pedestrian movement

What decided it

The marginal increase in size of the replacement unit, combined with its location within an existing busy commercial street context with numerous street furniture and illuminated advertisements, meant it would not cause unacceptable harm to character, appearance, heritage assets or pedestrian safety.
