Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposals on the character and appearance and visual amenity of the area
  • The effect of the proposals on highway safety and pedestrian flows in the area
  • Whether the proposal would increase opportunities for crime and anti-social behaviour in the area

What decided it

The proposal would noticeably intensify a form of digital advertising that is incongruous with the understated commercial character of the area, harmfully altering the appearance of the street scene in a way that conditions could not adequately mitigate.
