Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the advertisements on the amenity of the area

What decided it

The design of the advertisements, particularly their use of bold contrasting colours and large font size, creates an imposing and obtrusive appearance that is unsympathetic to the character of the area and fails to accord with the SPD.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Supplementary Planning Guidance Advertisements (SPD)
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 132

How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
