Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed advertisements on the visual amenity of the area

What decided it

The proposed illuminated advertisement panels would be large and prominently located within the pavement close to the road, appearing more visually intrusive and eye-catching than existing advertisements, thereby causing unacceptable harm to visual amenity.

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.
