Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

For Appeal A, whether the proposal would preserve the settings of the Grade I listed Cathedral, the locally listed White Horse pub and the City Centre Conservation Area
For Appeal B, the effect of the proposal on the visual amenity of the area

What decided it

The orientation of the internally illuminated digital advertisement panel facing the heritage assets would make the structure unduly prominent and interfere with views of the Cathedral tower and White Horse public house, causing less than substantial but considerable harm to their significance that was not outweighed by the modest public benefits of the proposal.
