## Summary
A like-for-like replacement of an InLink kiosk with a larger BT Street Hub on Shepherd's Bush Green was allowed. The south side of the road contributes neutrally to the conservation area and the war memorial's setting, and similar screens already exist on bus stops (DL 11-17).

## What made the difference
An existing hub on the same spot and a context of large bus-stop displays and modern buildings.

## Policy findings
- **HE4: pass.** modern south side makes a neutral contribution to settings of Shepherd's Bush CA and Grade II war memorial; no harm (DL 8-17)
- **TR6: pass.** one-way, low-speed road; screens not materially larger than bus-stop displays (DL 18-21)

## Key facts
- Replaces an existing hub; screens 77.5% larger (DL 7)
- No consultation on the 2026 Framework because it did not affect the main issues (DL 5)
