Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect on amenity, including the character and appearance of the area, and on public safety
What decided it
The proposed digital LED illuminated advertisement display would create an intrusive and incompatible feature harmful to visual amenity through its prominent position, size, and intermittently changing images, which harm is not outweighed by economic and environmental benefits.
The economic and environmental benefits of the digital display do not outweigh the identified harm to visual amenity in the particular location.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 20 of the Hull Local Plan 2016 to 2032
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.
