Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed advertisement upon the visual amenity of the area

What decided it

The significant harm to the visual amenity and appearance of the conservation area caused by adding further clutter to an already cluttered square outweighed the moderate benefits of providing transport information.

The moderate benefits of providing passenger transport information and supporting public transport modal shift were outweighed by the significant harm to the visual amenity and conservation area character.
