Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • 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
  • the effect of the proposals on crime and anti-social behaviour

What decided it

the lack of any enforceable mechanism to secure long-term maintenance of the Street Hub Unit, risking disrepair and consequent harm to the character, appearance and heritage setting of the Conservation Area

the moderate weight attributed to the digital connectivity and public-service benefits of the Street Hub Unit did not outweigh the harm found to the character and appearance of the area and the setting of the Conservation Area and nearby listed buildings
