Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed advertisement on visual amenity and on public safety, with particular regard to highway safety
What decided it
The proposal would unduly impinge upon both visual amenity through its incongruous and obtrusive nature in a low-key conservation area setting, and upon public safety through the risk of the changing digital display diverting driver attention and being confused with traffic signals at a busy junction.
