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 the character and appearance of the area caused by the visually dominant structure and clustering of advertising features, combined with the highway safety risk posed by its proximity to the bus stop, outweighed the proposed public benefits.
