Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Appeal A: the effect of the proposal on (1) amenity and (2) public safety
- Appeal B: the effect of the proposal on (1) the character and appearance of the area, including the adjacent Barnsbury Conservation Area; and (2) on the convenience of highway users, including pedestrians
What decided it
The visual intrusiveness of the illuminated digital screens and the unacceptable restriction of pedestrian footway width, combined with harm to the setting and significance of the Barnsbury Conservation Area, outweighed the limited public benefits of a single charging point.
