Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the advertisement and its illumination on the visual amenity of the area, including the effect on the character and appearance of the Cambridge Central Core Conservation Area and the significance of nearby listed buildings

What decided it

The need for illuminated signage to enable clients to locate the dental practice during periods of darkness, combined with conditions restricting illumination to business hours and requiring directional light fittings, ensures the advertisement would not adversely affect visual amenity or the character of the conservation area.
