Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Cheltenham Central Conservation Area or the setting of a nearby listed building
  • The effect of the advertisement on visual amenity, having regard to the Conservation Area and nearby listed building

What decided it

The public benefits of the development, including wi-fi provision and removal of existing kiosks, do not outweigh the substantial harm caused by introducing a large, illuminated, monolithic advertisement structure that would jar with and detract from the significance of the conservation area and nearby listed building.
