Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the siting of the proposed advertisement on amenity, being the character and appearance of the area, having regard to the Old Town Conservation Area and the Grade II Listed railings to the Esplanade
What decided it
The proposed advertisement would cause less than substantial harm to the significance of the Conservation Area and the setting of the listed railings, and the modest public benefits to the local economy do not sufficiently outweigh this harm.

- CP12CP15DM24DM26DM29
- National Planning Policy Framework
