Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the visual amenity of the area
What decided it
The size, changing images, illumination, elevated position and prominent location of the proposed advertisement would dominate and be overbearing on the host building and street scene, causing harm to visual amenity that could not be mitigated by conditions or outweighed by the appellant's claimed benefits.
The benefits forwarded by the appellant would not outweigh the harm to visual amenity identified by the Inspector.
