Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed advertisements on amenity, including the setting of a nearby listed building
What decided it
The proposed digital advertising screens would be very prominent and sizeable additions that would harmfully disrupt the essential rise and fall pattern of the building's design and character, and would detract from the nearby listed building with which they would be seen directly in context.
