Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect the development would have on the character and appearance of the area, including the significance of the Grade 1 listed and scheduled Bar Gate and Guild Hall and the Old Town Conservation Area
- The effect the advertisement would have on amenity having regard to the character and appearance of the area, the significance of the Grade 1 listed and scheduled status of the Bar Gate and the significance of the Old Town Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposed structure's siting, size and design would harm the character and appearance and visual amenity of the area by creating a cluttered streetscape, and this harm is not outweighed by the localised public benefits of digital connectivity.
The localised public benefits of digital connectivity do not outweigh the harm to character and appearance and visual amenity caused by the proposal's siting, size and design in relation to the existing streetscape and street trees.
