Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed advertisement on amenity
What decided it
The proposed advertisement's large scale, overtly modern internally illuminated digital appearance, elevated position, and regularly changing imagery would make it conspicuous and incongruous in the street scene, causing unacceptable harm to the visual amenity and character of the locality that cannot be justified by the modest benefits offered.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy CP3 (Chase Shaping – Design) of the Cannock Chase Local Plan (Part 1) (2014)
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
