Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the impact of the proposal upon the appearance of the Conservation Area
  • highway safety and free flow of traffic

What decided it

The modest scale and appropriate siting of the proposal, combined with the absence of evidenced highway safety concerns and the ability to control display through conditions, meant the proposal would preserve the Conservation Area's character and appearance without justifiable grounds for refusal.
