Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the advertisements on amenity and on the setting of designated and non-designated heritage assets
  • The effect of the advertisements on public safety

What decided it

The proposed advertisements would seriously harm both amenity through their impact on heritage assets, visual character and light pollution, and public safety through driver distraction in a complex and safety-critical road environment, and these harms outweigh any economic benefits.
