Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the two advertisements on amenity

What decided it

The signs are sited at low level with restricted visual influence, sit acceptably in their visual context subservient to the hotel building, and have design and materials well suited to their surroundings, therefore causing no harm to amenity.
