Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed digital advertisement on the visual amenity of the area
What decided it
The proposed digital advertisement would appear more prominent than the existing display, introduce an overly modern element, and by virtue of its illumination and changing images detract from the historic interest and setting of the locally listed buildings and the conservation area.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy CSP2 of the Newcastle-Under-Lyme and Stoke-On-Trent Core Spatial Strategy 2006-2026
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.
