Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed advertisement on visual amenity and on public safety, with particular regard to highway safety
What decided it
The proposal would be unduly harmful to visual amenity and would pose a significant safety hazard by distracting drivers at a busy junction where pedestrians and cyclists are also present.
The economic and environmental benefits claimed by the appellant were outweighed by the detrimental effects on amenity and public safety.
