Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve a Grade II listed building, 13 High Ousegate, and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses, and the extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Central Historic Core Conservation Area
What decided it
The cumulative impact of the modern advertisements with halo lighting, menu boxes, and festoon lighting would unacceptably harm the special interest of the listed building and the character of the conservation area, and this harm could not be justified by the economic benefits claimed.
