Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed advertisement on the amenity of the surrounding area, including whether it would preserve the setting and preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the nearby heritage assets
- The effect of the proposed advertisement on public safety
What decided it
The less than substantial but considerable harm to the setting of the nearby Grade II listed buildings, which would not be justified or outweighed by the extremely limited public benefits of the proposal.
The less than substantial harm to the setting of the listed buildings was weighed against the public benefits of the scheme (biodiversity net gain, air quality improvements, reduction in vehicle trips and supporting local businesses), and the harm was not outweighed by those benefits.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 20 of the Hull Local Plan 2016 to 2032 (2017)Advertisement Design Guide: Supplementary Planning Document 8 (2019)
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 199Paragraph 200Paragraph 136
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.
