Refused

Core Refusal Reason

The installation of an ATM in the shopfront of a Protected Structure would detract from its architectural character, violate heritage protection policies, and set an undesirable precedent.

Decision Maker's Conclusion

  • The proposal would erode an active shopfront window display and negatively impact the symmetry of the shopfront of a Protected Structure.

  • Granting permission would set an undesirable precedent for similar inappropriate interventions in protected structures within the historic core of Lismore.
