Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect on amenity, with reference to the Great Weston Conservation Area

What decided it

The proposed digital billboard with high-level illumination and frequently changing images would be a prominent and incongruous feature in the conservation area's intimate Victorian residential character, resulting in unacceptable harm that cannot be adequately mitigated by conditions.
