Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would achieve an appropriate level of community safety and security at the locality
- The effect on the character and appearance of the area, including whether it would preserve or enhance the character of the Camden Town Conservation Area
- The effect on highway safety with particular regard to pedestrian movement
- The effect of the proposal on the amenity of the area having regard to heritage assets
- The effect on public safety
What decided it
The absence of site-specific mitigation to address opportunistic theft and anti-social behaviour in a vulnerable location, combined with the harmful visual impact on the conservation area, outweighed the modest public benefits of digital infrastructure provision.
