Why it was refused

  1. By reason of its design and siting, the proposed internally illuminated digital display and communications kiosk would not complement the function or character of the public realm and its introduction would fail to enhance pedestrian amenity within the context. The proposal would therefore be contrary to the principles of the NPPF, Policy T2 of the London Plan 2021, Policy 36 of the Sutton Local Plan 2018, and Sutton's Urban Design Guide 'Creating Locally Distinctive Places' SPD.

From the council's decision notice.
