Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the public realm and the surrounding area
- Highway safety, with particular regard to users of the highway network and pedestrian movement
- The outlook for the occupiers of 11-12 Suffolk House
- The effect of the proposed advertisement on visual amenity
- The effect of the proposed advertisement on public safety, with particular regard to users of the highway network and pedestrian movement
What decided it
The proposal would create an intrusive, dominant feature in the public realm that would compromise pedestrian safety and flow on a narrow footway with high footfall, forcing users into the highway and creating highway safety risks compounded by the illuminated advertisement.
