Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed advertisement display on visual amenity
What decided it
The illuminated advertisement display would be visually obtrusive and incongruous when viewed by traffic heading northwards out of Winchester, appearing as an eye-catching and cluttered addition to an otherwise relatively low-key and attractive area with a rural edge.
