Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- For Appeal A: the effect of the development on (i) the character and appearance of the area, including the Canonbury Conservation Area; and (ii) pedestrian movement, accessibility and public safety
- For Appeal B: the effect of the advertisements on amenity and public safety
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the Canonbury Conservation Area, to which considerable importance and weight was attached, was not outweighed by the modest and largely generic public benefits of the proposal, and the development would have an unacceptable effect on pedestrian movement, accessibility and public safety.
The less than substantial harm to the Canonbury Conservation Area, afforded considerable importance and weight, was not outweighed by the modest public benefits of improved digital connectivity, free Wi-Fi and device charging, which were not dependent on this particular location.
