Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the proposals on the visual amenity of the area, having regard to the effects on the character or appearance of the Cathedral and City Centre Conservation Area and the setting of the Stonebow and Guildhall (Grade I listed and Scheduled Ancient Monument), the Church of St. Swithin (Grade II* listed) and the Mayors Parlour (Grade II listed)
What decided it
The visual harm to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and the setting of designated heritage assets, assessed as less than substantial but of great weight, was not outweighed by the moderate public benefits of the Street Hub.
