Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the works preserve a Grade II listed building or its setting, known as The Polar Bear, and any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses and whether it preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Spring Bank Conservation Area (Appeal A)
- The effects of the advertisements on the visual amenity of the area with particular regard to heritage assets (Appeal B)
What decided it
The failure to demonstrate clear and convincing justification for the harm caused to the significance of the designated heritage assets, with the identified public benefits insufficient to outweigh the great weight given to the harm.
