Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal preserves the significance of the Grade II listed building 26 and 27 Park Row, the setting of nearby listed buildings, and whether the proposal preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Leeds City Centre Conservation Area
- In terms of Appeal A, the effect of the advertisements on visual amenity
What decided it
The prominence and proliferation of the awnings would disrupt the classical fenestration and dominate views in the conservation area, causing less than substantial harm to the listed building and conservation area that could not be justified by the claimed public benefits, which could be achieved through less intrusive alternatives.
