Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the appearance of the streetscene
  • The impact on the amenity of the occupants of nearby dwellings

What decided it

The proposed flagpole sign would appear overly dominant and out of context with the streetscene because of its height and design, and would detract from the outlook of nearby residential properties.
