Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Appeal A: the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including on the setting of the George Street Conservation Area, and the setting of listed buildings
- Appeal B: the effect of the proposal on visual amenity
What decided it
Appeal A succeeded because the kiosk itself would not harm character and appearance or heritage settings; Appeal B failed because the digital display would be visually incongruous and harm amenity in a conservation area setting with restrained advertising character.
