Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed advertisement on visual amenity, including whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Conservation Area
- public safety, with specific regard to pedestrian and highway safety
What decided it
The cumulative harm to visual amenity and the character of the Conservation Area, combined with the physical intrusion into an already constrained footway compromising pedestrian safety, outweighed the appellant's arguments regarding replacement of previous advertising and compliance with modern standards.
