Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed advertisement(s) 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 single advertisement, affixed to a substantial viaduct structure and proportionate to its host, would not result in unacceptable harm to visual amenity or public safety.
