Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the advertisement is acceptable having regard to public safety

What decided it

The absence of information confirming the advertisement's structural design compliance with required standards and its safe collapse radius relative to the trunk road meant the Inspector could not be satisfied that public safety would be protected.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy D4
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 136

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.
