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 prominent siting directly adjacent to the junction with Haimo Road on a busy dual carriageway would distract drivers and pedestrians at a critical point, creating a material risk of accidents and thereby causing unacceptable harm to public safety.
