Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed advertisement on public safety
  • The effect of the proposed advertisement on amenity

What decided it

The proposed digital advertisement would be highly likely to distract users of a busy highway at a point where there are conflicting vehicular, cyclist and pedestrian movements, resulting in harm to public safety that outweighs any other considerations.
