Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The street hub unit's simple, understated design with muted finish and slender form, combined with the generous width of the pavement and the vibrant commercial character of The Street with existing street furniture and signage, means the proposal would not harm the character and appearance of the area.
