Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- For Appeals A, B, K, L, M, P, Q, R and S: whether the proposals would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Conservation Area and nearby listed buildings, the effect of the proposals on the amenity of the area and public safety, and the effect of the proposals on crime and anti-social behaviour.

- For Appeals N and O: whether the proposals would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Conservation Area, the effect of the proposals on the amenity of the area and public safety, and the effect of the proposals on crime and anti-social behaviour.
What decided it
the harm found to visual amenity, character and appearance of the surrounding areas (and, in several appeals, to conservation areas or listed building settings) outweighed the benefits of the Street Hub Units and the absence of harm to safety or crime.
the moderate weight given to the digital infrastructure and public-service benefits of the Street Hub Units was outweighed by the significant harm found to visual amenity, character and appearance and, in some cases, heritage assets, tipping the balance against the proposals and in conflict with the development plan as a whole.
