Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Effect of the advertisement on the visual amenity of the area

What decided it

The awning obscures important listed building architectural features and causes less than substantial harm to heritage assets that is not outweighed by the limited public economic benefits identified.

Development plan policies
CP15DM24DM26DM27

Paragraph 205Paragraph 208
