Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the street hub upon the character and appearance of the area, having particular regard to whether it would preserve the character and appearance of the Bath conservation area, preserve the settings of nearby listed buildings and the outstanding universal value of the Bath World Heritage Site
- the effect of the scheme upon public safety, with particular regard to crime and anti-social behaviour
What decided it
The considerable harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area, the settings of listed buildings, and the outstanding universal value of the World Heritage Site, combined with unacceptable public safety impacts, outweighed the modest public benefits of the scheme.
the modest public benefits of upgraded infrastructure and services were outweighed by the considerable harm to designated heritage assets and unacceptable public safety impacts
