Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the East Canonbury Conservation Area, including in respect of visual amenity
  • The effect of the proposal on the safety of public highway users

What decided it

The combination of harm to the conservation area's character and appearance and the prejudice to public highway user safety could not be justified by the environmental and economic benefits of the single installation.
