Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed advertisement on visual amenity

What decided it

The proposed advertisement screens would be so extremely large and tall that they would dominate the skyline and appear out of scale with their surroundings, with the proposed greenery insufficient to mitigate this detrimental visual impact.

Development plan policies
Policy BE13 of the Sheffield Unitary Development Plan (1998)
