Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character and/or appearance of the Albert Embankment Conservation Area
What decided it
The permanent illuminated digital advertisement display would create visual clutter and an incongruous modern element that would harm the character and appearance of the conservation area and its approaches to the World Heritage Site, and this harm was not outweighed by the modest public benefits of the communications infrastructure.
