Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed advertisement on visual amenity of the area, including the Kingsland Road Conservation Area, the Regent's Canal Conservation Area and the locally listed building at 293 - 295 Kingsland Road
  • public safety

What decided it

The proposed advertisement would not be obtrusive or harmful to visual amenity given the busy commercial character of Kingsland Road and existing street furniture, and would not compromise public safety given the pavement width and sightlines.
