Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the amenity of the area
  • the effect on public safety

What decided it

The proposed illuminated advertisement would appear visually dominant, intrusive and prominent in the streetscene and when viewed from nearby residential properties, and the proposed restrictions on illumination and hours would not adequately mitigate this harm.
