Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Appeal A: the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, including whether it would preserve the setting of the listed buildings at 48 and 49 Aldgate High Street (Grade II Listed) and 46 and 47 Aldgate High Street (Grade II* Listed)
- Appeal B: the effect of the proposed advertisement on amenity
What decided it
The spacious commercial character of the location and the separation distance from listed buildings, combined with the ability to control illumination through conditions, meant the development would not harm character and appearance or the setting of heritage assets.
