Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the amenity of the area, including the significance of the City of Bath World Heritage Site and the Bath Conservation Area
- safety, including the public safety of users of Avon Street
What decided it
The harm to the amenity of the street scene and the significance of the World Heritage Site and Conservation Area, albeit minor, could not be justified by the small-scale public benefits of improved communication facilities and digital infrastructure.
