Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the visual amenity of the locality; including the Central Conservation Area

What decided it

The proposed signage creates a jarring visual juxtaposition with the Grade II listed building's finely detailed upper floors and fails to preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Central Conservation Area, thereby being detrimental to amenity interests.
