  • Appeal A: the effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposed street hub with large illuminated advertisement screens would be incongruous and detrimental to the character and appearance of the locality and would harm the significance of the nearby Conservation Area through development within its setting, contrary to development plan policies.
