Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the safety of vehicular and pedestrian traffic using Olympic Way and Fulton Road
- The effect of the proposed signage on the amenity of the neighbouring occupiers (Appeal B only)
What decided it
The proposed moving advertisement images would form an expansive and distracting backdrop to the traffic signal on Fulton Road, significantly impairing drivers' ability to follow the signal's light sequence and creating unacceptable safety risks in an area of high pedestrian activity near a major sports venue.
