Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Appeal A: whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Sutton Town Centre Conservation Area
- Appeal B: the effect of the advertisement on amenity with regard to the Conservation Area and public realm
What decided it
The visual harm to the Conservation Area through introduction of visual clutter and interference with important long vistas, which is not outweighed by the modest public benefits of the communications infrastructure.
