Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the advertisement on the amenity of the area including whether it would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the South Shoreditch Conservation Area
What decided it
An advertisement area of the size and position proposed would appear incongruous in the South Shoreditch Conservation Area and cause harm to its character and appearance, contrary to section 72(1) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.
The limited benefits of the shroud replicating the building's appearance and adding visual interest would not outweigh the harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area.
