Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on public safety, with specific regard to the movement of pedestrians and vehicles
  • whether the proposal would adequately reduce opportunities for criminal and anti-social behaviour
  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposed advertisement on public safety and the amenity of the area

What decided it

The unacceptable degree of distraction posed by the tall, wide, illuminated digital display to drivers on the A41 at a highly-trafficked junction, combined with the failure to adequately reduce opportunities for crime and anti-social behaviour in a high-crime location.
