Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed advertisement upon the amenity of the area

What decided it

The illuminated advertisement sign would be overly dominant and uncharacteristic of the semi-rural locality, materially harming the amenity of the area through visual intrusion and exacerbation of clutter, which cannot be outweighed by limited social and economic benefits.

CS Policy 10
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 141
