Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The impact of the proposal upon the visual amenity, character, appearance and ongoing regeneration of the surrounding area and the street scene

What decided it

The proposal would improve visual amenity as a replacement for an existing poor-quality advertisement hoarding of comparable size, and unspecified future regeneration plans did not provide sufficient planning reason to refuse consent.
