Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposals upon visual amenity

What decided it

The proposal would function as a contemporary replacement for existing street furniture within an established commercial streetscape characterised by diverse street furniture and modern advertising features, and would not materially worsen pedestrian or highway safety compared to the existing situation.
