Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the amenity of the area, including the effect on the character and appearance of the Ware Conservation Area

What decided it

The prominent position of the appeal building in the streetscene means that the form, depth and extent of the proposed signage is unduly dominant and detracts from the amenity of the area and the character and appearance of the Conservation Area, with no public benefits sufficient to outweigh this harm.
