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 amenity and heritage significance caused by the incongruous appearance of the Street Hub and its illuminated displays, when weighed against the small-scale public benefits, was insufficient to justify the proposal in a World Heritage Site of the highest significance.
