Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including whether it would preserve or enhance the significance of the Kings Cross/St Pancras Conservation Area and nearby listed buildings through development within their settings
- whether the proposal would achieve an appropriate level of community safety at the locality
- the effect of the proposal on pedestrian safety
- the effect of the advertisements on the visual amenity of the area
What decided it
The less than substantial but considerable harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area and the setting of listed buildings, combined with failure to achieve appropriate community safety, could not be outweighed by the public benefits of the proposal.
the less than substantial harm to the conservation area and setting of the listed buildings was not outweighed by the public benefits of improved connectivity, renewable energy and community safety features
