Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the advertisement on visual amenity, with particular regard to the Northwood Town Centre, Green Lane, Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposed illuminated advertisement would appear as an incongruous and visually intrusive addition in a Conservation Area where no such advertisements exist, failing to preserve the character and appearance of the historic area.
