Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

- The effect of the advertisement on highway safety
What decided it
The proposed advertisement would have a dominant and intrusive appearance on the otherwise simple building frontage, causing harm to visual amenity that conflicts with Policy Q17, which could not be mitigated by the absence of highway safety harm.

- Development plan policies
- Policy Q17
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
