Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The impact on amenity

What decided it

The proposed signs would be unacceptably harmful to amenity due to their excessive size, height and prominence in a sensitive rural location within the Green Belt and Chilterns National Landscape, outweighing the safety benefits they would provide.
