Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed advertisement on the visual amenity of the area
What decided it
The insertion of a large digital display unit would be an incongruous commercial feature that would erode the residential character of this side of the highway and unacceptably link the site with the commercial character of the retail park, causing unmitigable harm to visual amenity.
