Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed advertisement on public safety in relation to road users

What decided it

The proposed digital advertisement displays would create visual confusion and distract motorists on the heavily trafficked A66 in an area with recorded vehicle incidents, posing a threat to road user safety.

The absence of adverse effects on amenity would not outweigh the identified harm to public safety.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy DC1 of the Middlesbrough Local Development Framework Core Strategy 2008
