Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposals on the amenity of the surrounding area

What decided it

The appeal signage would have no harmful impact on the visual amenity of the host buildings and the street scene, and therefore does not conflict with Local Plan policy DE1 which seeks to protect amenity.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy DE1

How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
