Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed advertisements on the visual amenity of the area

What decided it

The use of relatively subdued individual lettering without illumination on a background building, combined with the established presence of high-level signage within the city centre, means the proposal would not harm visual amenity or the character and appearance of the conservation area.
