Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed advertisement on visual amenity

What decided it

The proposed advertisement would not unacceptably harm visual amenity given the established character of the locality as a location for advertisements and signs, the consistency of the display with the historical poster and surrounding advertisements, and the ability to control brightness and animation through conditions.

National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 141
