Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed advertisement upon the amenity of the area
What decided it
The cumulative visual impact of the proposed digital poster display positioned next to an existing large illuminated poster display would create excessive commercial presence and be overly dominant in views along the A12, thereby overwhelming the residential character of the area.

- Development plan policies
- Policy WLP 8.29
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 136
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.
