Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed advertisement on amenity
What decided it
The proposed advertisement would not cause harm to amenity given its site-specific context within a busy commercial road corridor with existing large-scale signage, and would not conflict with Policy EN9 or the design aims of the Framework.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy EN9 of the Preston Local Plan 2012-2026 Site Allocations and Development Management Policies
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
