Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the advert on the visual amenity of the area
What decided it
The incongruous industrial appearance and increased bulk and projection of the freestanding display structure would result in a visually intrusive feature that conflicts with the limited scale of surrounding buildings and restrained character of the local area.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy DE1
- 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.
