Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed advertisement on the visual amenity of the area
- public safety, with specific regard to the safety of vehicles and pedestrians using the adjacent highways
What decided it
The two advertisements, when combined with the existing large billboard, create an over-concentration of signage that introduces visual clutter and dominance contrary to the 2007 Regulations and development plan policies.
