Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the advertisement on the amenity of the area
What decided it
The advertisement's harmful prominence and incongruity against the semi-rural, verdant character of the edge-of-town location, particularly its domination of the traditional signpost and erosion of the attractive vista from Western Road, makes it unacceptably detrimental to the amenity of the area.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy EN27
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 141
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
