Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed advertisement display on amenity, including whether it would preserve or enhance the setting of the Royal Military Academy Conservation Area and the grade II listed Church of St Michael

What decided it

The overall size, location, prominence and illumination of the proposed billboard would harm amenity and fail to preserve the settings of the designated heritage assets, with the private commercial benefits insufficient to outweigh the less than substantial harm to heritage significance.
