- The effects of the proposed advertisement upon the visual amenity of the area
- Public safety in relation to the advertisement
What decided it
The harm to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and the settings of listed buildings caused by the modern design and changing digital advertisements was not outweighed by the identified public benefits.
