Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the street scene and whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Kensal Rise Conservation Area
  • The effects of the proposal on highway safety, with particular regard to pedestrian movement
  • The effects of the proposed advertisement on amenity and public safety

What decided it

The proposal would cause substantial harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area and create an unacceptable distraction to road users at a critical junction, with limited public benefits that do not outweigh these harms.
