Authority: London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham
Appeal type: commercial · Commercial Appeals Service (Adverts)

Inspector: McDonagh C

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effects of the proposals on the character and appearance/amenity of the area with particular regard to the Hammersmith Broadway Conservation Area
The effects of the proposals on public safety and pedestrian mobility

What decided it

The position of the display screens directly behind traffic lights at a busy pedestrian crossing would create a dangerous distraction for drivers in a hectic environment requiring absolute attention on safety, and this public safety harm could not be outweighed by the marginal benefits of upgrading the existing unit.

Framework references: 207

Plan policies cited: DC1, DC9, DC10, T1, T3, T1, T2, D5

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.
