Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The impact of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the street scene, surrounding area and the character of the Important Open Space
  • Highway safety with regard to pedestrian safety

What decided it

The proposal would reduce overall advertisement space by consolidating two existing displays into one, and the controlled nature of the digital display (static images, regulated brightness, no moving imagery) would not result in unacceptable impacts on character and appearance or highway safety compared to the existing advertisements which have deemed consent.
