Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The projecting signs sit awkwardly amongst the well-ordered fenestration and project prominently perpendicular to the terrace, appearing starkly at odds with the prevailing linear form and sheer vertical edge that contribute importantly to the Conservation Area's significance.
