Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Appeal A: whether the proposed kiosk would comply with ICNIRP guidelines on electromagnetic field exposure
  • Appeal B: the effect of the proposed illuminated digital advertisement on public safety and amenity

What decided it

The illuminated digital advertisement's position and nature at a busy road junction would distract road users at a critical point of access and informal pedestrian crossing, creating an unacceptable risk to public safety.
