Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed advertisement on the amenity of the area

What decided it

The large, uncharacteristic digital advertisement would dominate the street scene and harmfully alter the existing sense of place, constituting a significant adverse effect on the amenity of the area that outweighed any limited economic or sustainability benefits.

The limited economic and sustainability benefits of the digital advertisement did not outweigh the significant adverse effect on the amenity of the area.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy P15
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 136
