Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the works on public amenity, having regard to whether the works would preserve the special architectural or historic interest of a listed building, and whether they would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Bath Conservation Area
What decided it
The externally illuminated sign's stark colour contrast, reflective materials, prominent positioning, and conspicuous lighting strip would cause unacceptable harm to the listed building's significance and the conservation area's character that cannot be outweighed by claimed public benefits.
Framework references: 56
