Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal is inappropriate development in the Green Belt, having regard to the Framework and any development plan policies, including any relevant effects on the openness of the Green Belt
  • the effect of the proposals upon the visual amenity of the area
  • the effects of the proposals on public safety
  • the effect of the proposals upon biodiversity

What decided it

The proposed advertisement would be detrimental to visual amenity by appearing incongruously beyond the established commercial envelope and would compromise highway safety by causing driver distraction near a signalised junction with limited stopping distance.
