Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the advertisement upon the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The digital display, by its height on the building and its coloured and changing images, would represent a dominating and over-prominent focal point introducing an over-assertive, obtrusive display that would harm visual amenities and conflict with design policies and the NPPF.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
DS1DS3
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 41

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.
