Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed advertisement on amenity

What decided it

The proposed digital screen would introduce a large, permanent illumination that would be visually harmful to the amenity of the sensitive environment of the promenade and wider area, contrary to Policy DM21 and the Framework.

The limited economic benefits of the digital display did not outweigh the significant adverse effect on amenity.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy DM21
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 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.
