Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the fascia signage and menu boards preserve the special architectural and historic interest of the listed building, whether they preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Regent Street/Church Street/Market Hill Conservation Area and whether the significance of the heritage assets is harmed

What decided it

The harm to the designated heritage assets, though less than substantial, was not outweighed by the modest public benefits of the signage, as alternative effective advertising could be displayed without causing the identified harm.
