Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the totem sign on the visual amenity of the area

What decided it

The totem sign's modest scale and form, when viewed in the context of the food store and surrounding built development, does not create visual harm or clutter in the semi-rural setting and therefore does not conflict with amenity protection policies.
