Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed advertisement on visual amenity, with particular regard to the effect on the Central Conservation Area and the setting of nearby listed buildings (Appeal A)
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to the effect on the Central Conservation Area and the setting of nearby listed buildings (Appeal B)
What decided it
The site has accommodated advertising structures for at least 10 years, the existing InLink unit was previously approved, and the proposed replacement would not be significantly larger or more visually intrusive, resulting in a neutral effect on heritage assets and the conservation area.
