Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed advertisements on amenity
  • The effect of the proposed advertisements on public safety, with particular regard to the railway network

What decided it

The proposed advertisements would cause harm to both visual amenity of the area and public safety due to the structure falling within the topple distance of the railway boundary, conflicting with local plan policies QP8 and NE7.
