Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect on amenity

What decided it

The free-standing position of the advertisement, clearly separated from the building, would result in considerable and unacceptable harm to the visual amenity of the area, being significantly more harmful than the consented building-mounted alternative.
