Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed advertisements on the visual amenity of the area, including the character and appearance of The Angel Conservation Area
What decided it
The illuminated fascia and projecting signs would result in unacceptable harm to the visual amenity and character of the Angel Conservation Area, whereas the menu signs would preserve it.
The private benefits to the restaurant of the illuminated fascia and projecting signs did not outweigh the less-than-substantial harm to the conservation area, which carries great weight.
