Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Appeal A: Whether the proposal would preserve the Grade II listed building and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses, and whether it would preserve the significance of the heritage asset
Appeal B: The effect of the advertisement on visual amenity, having regard to the building's listed status

What decided it

The visual prominence and jarring nature of the proposed digital display would cause less than substantial but unjustified harm to the significance of the Grade II listed building that cannot be outweighed by the limited and unsubstantiated public benefits claimed.

Development plan policies: Policy TP12 of the Birmingham Development Plan (2017)
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 199Paragraph 200Paragraph 202
