Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on amenity and public safety

What decided it

The dynamic nature and vivid appearance of the proposed D-Poster, combined with its large size and prominent corner position above street level, would create a harmful degree of prominence that would adversely affect the amenities of the local area, particularly in a traditional historic setting.
