Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed advertisement on visual amenity, and in particular whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Redchurch Street Conservation Area
The effect of the proposed advertisement on public safety

What decided it

The temporary nature of the proposal combined with conditions limiting illumination and ensuring the 1:1 building image is displayed alongside any advertising, together with the site's location at the periphery rather than heart of the conservation area, meant the proposal would preserve the character and appearance of the conservation area and not harm public safety.
