| Condition Details / Information Notes |
| The proposed advertisement is located within the Historic City Conservation Area. The proposed BT street hub unit by virtue of its size, position and design, would constitute an incongruous structure which would result in additional visual clutter within the streetscene, adversely impacting on the amenity, visual appearance and historic characteristics of the area. The proposal is contrary to policies SWDP6, SWDP21 and SWDP24 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan. |
