Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the proposal upon highway safety

What decided it

The unacceptable harm to character and appearance caused by the visually dominant structure and clustering of advertising features, combined with the highway safety risk posed by proximity to the bus stop, could not be outweighed by the speculative public benefits offered.
