Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposals on visual amenity and the character of the area, including whether they would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Central Conservation Area, and whether they would preserve the settings of nearby listed buildings

What decided it

The illuminated digital display would be a brash, discordant and highly distracting feature that would unacceptably diminish the settings of nearby listed buildings and the character of the conservation area, and the public benefits of the scheme were insufficient to outweigh this heritage harm.
