Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal preserves the significance of the Grade II listed building, 4 Monkgate, the setting of the adjacent listed buildings, and whether the proposal preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Central Historic Core Conservation Area
- In terms of Appeal A, the effect of the advertisements on visual amenity
What decided it
The lack of substantiated public benefits sufficient to outweigh the considerable harm to the listed building's significance, the setting of neighbouring heritage assets, and the conservation area's character and appearance.
