Members considered the proposed installation of the Pulse Smart Hubs.
Discussion focused on the suitability of the hubs within the town’s street scene and the central locations proposed.
Members expressed concern that both suggested locations for advertisements could be distracting and contribute to visual clutter. It was also noted that the Hubs might create a physical barrier, potentially making it difficult for mobility scooters to pass safely.
Members felt that further clarity was needed on the full range of features and benefits, as well as whether any of these could be utilised by the Town Council.
While some members were supportive of the concept in principle, they felt the proposed installations were not in keeping with the character of Fore Street.
Councillor Bickford highlighted potential benefits including free Wi?Fi, free phone calls, health?related features, pollution monitoring, footfall counting, and opportunities for local advertising.
Members acknowledged the potential value of the technology but concluded that the proposed locations were inappropriate, insufficiently justified, and not aligned with the character or practical needs of the town.
The Chair also relayed comments from the Chair of the Town Team, as these could not be uploaded to the Cornwall Council planning portal due to technical issues being reported.
Following a vote (13 in favour, 1 against, 0 abstentions) it was proposed by Councillor Stoyel, seconded by Councillor Mortimore and resolved to RECOMMEND REFUSAL on the grounds that the proposal conflicts with the Saltash Neighbourhood Development Plan Policies ENV2 and TC2, on the basis of the following points:
1. Harm to visual amenity and local character from an intrusive illuminated digital display;
2. Increased street clutter impacting the appearance and accessibility of the public realm;
3. Light pollution and potential disturbance to nearby residential properties;
4. Advertising content not aligned with the local town centre identity, favouring national commercial advertising;
5. Highway safety concerns due to close proximity to roadside with the potential distraction to drivers.
