Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed advertisements on amenity

What decided it

The halo-illuminated 'A' logo sign on the southern gable end would be uncomfortably large in relation to the building elevation and visually intrusive due to its prominence, whereas the other signs would be proportionate and unobtrusive with appropriate conditions.
