Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether conditions 3 and 4 are reasonable when regard is paid to public safety
What decided it
Condition 3 was upheld as reasonable on public safety grounds given the site's location at a complex busy junction, but the appeal was dismissed overall because condition 4, though unreasonable, could not be varied in isolation due to the interdependence of the two conditions and insufficient evidence of an appropriate alternative luminance level.
