Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the advertisement display on the amenity of the area, in particular on the Borough High Street Conservation Area and listed buildings

What decided it

The shroud with advertisement would preserve the character and appearance of the Conservation Area during the temporary renovation period as a preferable alternative to the visual harm of exposed scaffolding, and the advertisement would not be unduly prominent given its position on the eastern elevation surrounded by the building facade depiction.
