Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposals would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Beckenham Town Centre Conservation Area, including in respect of visual amenity
What decided it
The replacement of the poor-quality existing kiosk with a slimmer, more modern structure would enhance the character and appearance of the conservation area, outweighing the visual prominence of the new illuminated digital screens.
The visual prominence of the illuminated digital screens was outweighed by the design upgrade and reduction in visual clutter achieved by replacing the existing poor-quality kiosk, resulting in an overall enhancement of the conservation area
