Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the amenity of the area; particularly whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the significance of the Edgbaston Conservation Area

What decided it

The site's location at a stark transition point between urban and suburban character means the large digital advertisement would reinforce rather than harm the Conservation Area's recognised boundary contrast.
