Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the advertisement on amenity, having regard to heritage assets including the Brixton Conservation Area and the adjacent grade II listed building, Reliance Arcade

What decided it

The absence of substantive evidence that renovation works are programmed or secured, combined with the previous failure to complete works under earlier consents, meant the public benefits from building renovation were too uncertain to outweigh the harm to the Brixton Conservation Area's character and appearance.
