Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed advertisement on the visual amenity of the area, including the Dalston Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposed advertisement would be excessively large and obtrusive, covering historic features and creating visual clutter that would be entirely incongruous with the building and the Dalston Conservation Area, thereby harmfully affecting visual amenity.
