Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the scheme upon the character and appearance of the area, having particular regard to whether it would preserve the character and appearance of the 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 scheme would cause less than substantial but considerable harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area, the settings of nearby listed buildings, and the outstanding universal value of the World Heritage Site, and would create unacceptable public safety impacts that could not be adequately mitigated by conditions.
The modest public benefits of upgraded infrastructure would not outweigh the considerable harm to designated heritage assets and the unacceptable public safety impacts.
