Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the condition is reasonable and necessary, having regard to the requirements of the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) (England) Regulations 2007
What decided it
The absence of substantive evidence demonstrating that the development will cause harm to public safety during the 5-year consent period, combined with the Council's existing powers to discontinue the advertisement if actual harms arise, rendered condition 7b unreasonable and unnecessary.
