Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including the setting of Regent's Canal Conservation Area and the Grade II* listed Stable Yard
- highway safety
- community safety and security
- the effect of the proposed advertisements on the amenity of the area, having regard to heritage assets
What decided it
The unacceptable harmful effect on the character and appearance of the area, including the setting of the conservation area and listed building, combined with the adverse impact on highway safety through obstruction of pedestrian flow, outweighed the modest public benefits of improved telecommunications infrastructure.
the modest public benefits of telecommunications infrastructure improvements were insufficient to offset the substantial harm to character and appearance, heritage setting, and highway safety
