Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposals on the character and appearance and visual amenity of the area, having regard to the conservation area and the setting of nearby listed buildings
- the effect of the proposal on pedestrian and highway safety
- whether the proposed lighting levels from the advert screens would harm visual amenity, particularly for the occupiers of nearby properties
What decided it
The significant adverse effect on the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and the setting of the listed Jubilee Clock, combined with obstruction to pedestrian safety, could not be justified by the modest public benefits of the proposal.
