Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed advertisement on the amenity of the area including the character and appearance of the Camden Town Conservation Area
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the Camden Town Conservation Area caused by the scale, height, and prominence of the proposed shroud and advertising spaces, which was not justified by the claimed necessity for repair works, outweighed any benefits.
The benefits of the advertisement revenue potentially subsidising repair works did not outweigh the significant overall harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area, the host building and the amenity of the area, which attracts great weight
