Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposals on public safety
  • The effect of the proposed advertisements on amenity
  • The effect of the proposed advertisements with particular regard to the luminance level from the proposed LCD advertisement screens on nearby sensitive properties

What decided it

The proposals would result in an unacceptable obstruction that would impede pedestrian movement in this busy commercially orientated area with a narrow footway, which constitutes significant harm to public safety that outweighs the moderate public benefits offered.
