Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the temporary advertisement display on the visual amenity of the area, which includes two conservation areas and a number of listed buildings

What decided it

The proposed advertisement would have an adverse effect on the visual amenity of the locality, the Westminster Abbey and Parliament Square Conservation Area and nearby listed buildings due to its prominent siting in an area where large commercial advertisements are not a common feature.

Plan policies cited: Policy 38, Policy 39, Policy 43
