Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
highway and pedestrian safety
crime and anti-social behaviour
the effect of the proposed advertisements on the visual amenity of the area, and public safety

What decided it

The combination of the Street Hub's slim profile and careful positioning, together with the comprehensive Management Plan addressing crime and anti-social behaviour concerns and conditions controlling the digital display characteristics, satisfied the Inspector that the proposal would not cause unacceptable harm to character, appearance, safety or amenity.

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
