Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Appeal A: (i) the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Brixton Road and Angell Town Conservation Area; (ii) the effect of the proposal on the safe and efficient operation of the highway; and (iii) the effect of the proposal on crime and anti-social behaviour
- Appeal B: (i) the effect of the proposed advertisements on the visual amenity of the area; and (ii) public safety
What decided it
The neutral effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the Conservation Area, combined with the absence of substantive evidence of harm to highway safety, public safety, or crime prevention, meant the development accorded with the development plan and should be allowed.
