Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The impact on amenity

What decided it

The proposed advertisement would detract from the amenity of the area and the character of the gateway location by appearing as an overly large and incongruous structure that would fail to respect the form, fabric, design and scale of its setting, contrary to local plan policies DM12(g) and DM26 and the Ipswich Urban Characterisation Study.
