Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the continued use of the site for the display of the advertisement would cause substantial injury to the amenity of the locality
What decided it
The advertisement's high position, size and projection cause it to be experienced as a disproportionate, dominant and prominent addition that detracts significantly from the pleasing architectural appearance and proportions of the host property and the character and appearance of the conservation area, thereby causing substantial injury to the amenity of the locality.
