Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the Norwich City Centre Conservation Area and the setting of nearby listed and locally listed buildings

What decided it

The disproportionate scale and elevated height of the digital display would cause less than substantial but moderate harm to the significance of designated heritage assets and the character of the conservation area, which cannot be justified by the modest economic public benefits of the proposal.
