Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed advertisement on amenity
What decided it
The proposed advertisement would have a harmful effect on visual amenity by introducing an incongruous, continuously illuminated digital display that would erode the visual relief of the pavement and conflict with the muted small-town character of Haslemere, and this site-specific harm cannot be outweighed by broader operational or social benefits under the Advertisement Regulations.
Plan policies cited: Policy DM29 of the Waverley Local Plan Part 2 (2023), Policy H6 of the Haslemere Neighbourhood Plan (2021)
