Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on public safety, having particular regard to highway safety

What decided it

The electronic D-poster's frequently changing images would materially distract drivers at a busy junction with complex traffic movements and a history of accidents, creating unacceptable highway safety risk that the existing static hoarding does not pose.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy 36 of the Sutton Local Plan 2016-2031Policy T4 of the London Plan (March 2021)

How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
