Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed advertisement on the visual amenity of the area

What decided it

The proposed advertisement, as a small-scale street-level feature in a wide thoroughfare with considerable separation distances between similar displays, would not cause material harm to the visual amenity of the area or conflict with relevant policies seeking to respect the restrained character of the City and protect heritage assets.
