Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the amenity of the area, including the character and appearance of the Hurn Conservation Area
What decided it
The modest scale, non-illuminated nature, and careful positioning of the advertisement, combined with its colour scheme matching existing architectural elements, meant it did not harm the historic character of the building or the significance of the conservation area.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy KS3
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.
