Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed advertisement on amenity

What decided it

The proposed double-sided digital advertisement would introduce an unacceptable degree of illumination to the immediate locality in contrast to the low-key signage characteristic of the Edgbaston Conservation Area, causing significant harm to amenity and failing to preserve or enhance the heritage asset.
