Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the advertisement upon the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposed digital advertisement would infill a key glazed architectural feature of the main entrance elevation, destroying its decorative design and symmetry, and would become an incongruous focal point harmful to the settings of nearby listed buildings.
