Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the visual amenity of the area, including the Clapton Pond Conservation Area and the adjacent Locally Listed Building
  • Public safety

What decided it

The existing visual clutter and commercial character of the street scene, combined with conditions controlling the advertisement's brightness and image display, meant the proposal would not harm amenity or public safety.
