Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects on amenity and the character and appearance of the area including the Barnsbury Conservation Area
- The effects on pedestrian amenity, convenience and comfort
What decided it
The less than substantial but unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the Barnsbury Conservation Area, combined with the unmitigated harm to pedestrian comfort and convenience on a busy shopping street, outweighed the public benefits of the communications kiosk.
The less than substantial harm to the conservation area and the harm to pedestrian comfort and convenience were not outweighed by the public benefits of modern communications, connectivity, emergency access, and other services, with heritage harm given great weight
