Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposals on the amenity of the appeal site and its surroundings
What decided it
The proposed advertisements would appear unduly dominant, intrusive and incongruous within the street scene, harming the setting of the listed building, the character and appearance of the conservation areas, and the amenity of their surroundings.
The limited weight afforded to potential benefits in attracting visitors to Oxford Street did not outweigh the substantial harm to amenity identified.
