Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

What decided it

The pole sign's height, design and illumination cause harmful intrusion into views of the Former Liverpool Airport Control Tower and Terminal from the west along Speke Road, eroding the contribution of its open setting to the listed building's heritage significance.
