What decided it
The site-specific context, including the existing large freestanding Templars Square Shopping Centre sign, mature trees, and surrounding retail units, meant the proposed scale and massing would be acceptable and the digital screens would not result in unacceptable visual harm or compromise crime and public safety when managed in accordance with the Anti-Social Behaviour Management Plan.
