Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the signage preserves or enhances the character or appearance of Henfield Conservation Area

What decided it

The proposed fascia signs harm the character and appearance of Henfield Conservation Area by cutting the building's balanced façade, obscuring the string course, and creating an overly brash element that conflicts with the building's design and its relationship with the adjacent listed building.
