Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the advertisement on visual amenity, with particular regard to the Town Centre Conservation Area

What decided it

The advertisement's scale, intensity and incongruous appearance in the Town Centre Conservation Area, where historic character is dominated by modest advertisements, makes it detrimental to visual amenity and contrary to development plan policies protecting local character.
