Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of nearby residents with particular regard to noise
- The effect of the advertisement on the visual amenity of the area
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance caused by the hub appearing as a dominant and incongruous feature in an otherwise restrained street scene, combined with insufficient evidence that living conditions of nearby residents would be protected from noise disturbance, meant the identified benefits did not indicate the proposal should be decided other than in accordance with the development plan.
