Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed advertisement on visual amenity, with particular regard to the character and appearance of the Shoreditch Conservation Area
What decided it
The fallback position of standard scaffold sheeting without advertising, combined with the temporary nature of the works and the visual benefit of the 1:1 façade image, outweighed concerns about the advertising area's impact on the conservation area.
