- Whether the disputed condition is necessary in the interests of public safety
What decided it
The Inspector determined that drivers would only have sight of the advert for approximately 10 seconds, during which no more than one change would occur, and that the cognitive demand on road users was not high enough to justify the 30-second minimum condition.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy CS1Policy PSP11
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 56
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.
