Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the advertisements on visual amenity, with due regard to nearby heritage assets
  • The effect of the advertisements on public safety

What decided it

The proposal fails to demonstrate an acceptable level of community safety and security at this location, contrary to Policy C5 of the Camden Local Plan 2017, as it would increase concealment opportunities without providing site-specific mitigation in an area experiencing persistent opportunistic theft.
