Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the development upon public safety, and amenity, including the character and appearance of the Central Conservation Area
whether the proposal would be in the setting of 57-63 or 65-67 Edgar Street which are listed buildings and, if so, whether the display would harm their significance

What decided it

The appeal site's commercial character and separation from the listed buildings and historic core of the Conservation Area, combined with the absence of unacceptable public safety risks, justified allowing the appeal subject to conditions controlling luminance, display timing, and animation effects.

What the Inspector cited

National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 136
