Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on public safety
  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The significant potential for the illuminated digital advertisement to distract motorists at a busy signal-controlled junction, combined with its substantial visual intrusion in a prominent location, outweighed any benefits and rendered the proposal unacceptable on both highway safety and character and appearance grounds.
