Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed advertisements on public safety
  • The effect of the proposed advertisements on the amenity of the area

What decided it

The proposed digital advertisements would increase the risk from distraction to an unacceptable level at a sensitive location with multiple traffic hazards and would harm the visual amenity of the area by dominating views of the roundabout and eroding the softening effect of mature trees.
