Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area (amenity)
- The effect of the proposal on highway safety
What decided it
The existence of comparable advertisement displays already present on both the appeal site and the opposite property meant the proposed illuminated display would not make a material difference to the character and amenity of the conservation area, and site observations confirmed no adverse highway safety impact.
