Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the area
- The safety of users of the pavement
- Whether the appellant has justified a need for the development having regard to local and national planning policies
- The effect of the proposed advertisement upon the visual amenity of the area
What decided it
The materially adverse impact upon the visual amenity of the area caused by the proposed hub and advertisement displays, which would re-establish clutter in a heavily pedestrianised street and not assimilate well into the surrounding area, was not outweighed by the identified benefits.
