Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed advertisement on amenity

What decided it

The proposed digital LED advertisement, by reason of its scale, high-level location, and regularly changing bright imagery, would introduce a discordant and incongruous feature that would cause visual harm to local amenity and the living conditions of nearby residential occupants.
