Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the advertisement on the amenity of the area which includes the Old Town Conservation Area and the setting for the Grade II listed 'Railings to the Esplanade'

What decided it

The advertisement causes less than substantial harm to the conservation area and listed building setting, and the claimed economic benefits do not outweigh this harm.
