Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • For Appeal A, the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
  • For Appeal B, the effect of the advertisement on visual amenity

What decided it

The development would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area through its visual prominence and erosion of the openness of the parade forecourt, which could not be outweighed by the modest benefits of removing existing telephone boxes or the public benefits of the communications infrastructure.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy EE1 of the Runnymede 2030 Local Plan (2020)
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 141
