Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area including the effect on the setting of nearby conservation areas and listed buildings

What decided it

The proposal involves replacement rather than addition of street furniture with a reduced footprint, and the digital advertising is consistent with the existing commercial city centre character, resulting in no significant effect on heritage assets or the character and appearance of the area.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy CC1 of the Coventry City Centre Area Action Plan 2017Policy DE1 of the Coventry Local Plan 2017Policy HE2 of the Coventry Local Plan 2017

How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
