Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area, including whether it preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Goitside Conservation Area
- The living conditions of nearby residents, with particular reference to noise and disturbance
- Highway safety
What decided it
The cumulative effect of harm to the conservation area character, unacceptable impact on residential amenity from noise and disturbance, and highway safety concerns arising from inadequate access arrangements and the LED screen's potential to distract drivers could not be justified by the limited public benefits of the proposal.
