Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Appeal A: the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including Sloane/Stanley Conservation Area
  • Appeal B: the effect of the proposed advertisement on the amenity of the area

What decided it

The harmfully discordant appearance of the digital illuminated displays within the street scene and their visibility within views of the historic Conservation Area, combined with the modest public benefits, could not justify the less than substantial harm to the significance of the designated heritage asset.

the modest public benefits of modern communications infrastructure and free services did not outweigh the less than substantial harm to the significance of the Conservation Area, to which considerable importance and weight was given
