Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed advertisement on public safety

What decided it

The siting of the proposed hub at a location with complex highway conditions requiring heightened driver concentration, where the advertisement would create an unacceptable distraction risk, conflicted with development plan policies on highway safety and could not be justified by the limited public benefits claimed.

Framework references: 9, 10

Plan policies cited: London Plan (2021) Policy T2, London Plan (2021) Policy T4, Royal Greenwich Local Plan: Core Strategy and Detailed Policies (2014) Policy IM(a), Royal Greenwich Local Plan: Core Strategy and Detailed Policies (2014) Policy IM(b)

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.

Every English appeal since 2016, with the letter behind it wherever the Inspectorate published one. Searched by meaning as well as by words, with the key case law counted live across the letters.

Casework that chases the deadlines. Applications, appeals and conditions with their statutory dates.

The judgement stays yours. The tool gathers the material and dates it.
