Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed advertisement on public safety
- The effect of the proposal on visual amenity with particular regard to whether the advertisement would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Covent Garden Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposed advertisement would create an obstacle in the footway that restricts accessibility and safe passage for all users, particularly vulnerable users, contrary to the requirement for high quality public space that is easy, suitable and safe to walk through.
