Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Appeal A: the effect on the character and appearance of the area
  • Appeal B: the effect on amenity

What decided it

The proposed Street Hub with illuminated digital advertisement screens would be a prominent and obtrusive feature that would add clutter to the streetscape and cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the area, which the identified benefits do not outweigh.

the benefits relating to free telephone calls, Wi-Fi, connectivity, wayfinding, emergency services access, device charging, environmental and traffic monitoring, accessibility, public messaging and town centre vitality carried limited weight and did not outweigh the significant harm to character and appearance and amenity
