Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Appeal A: the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to the effect on designated heritage assets
  • Appeal B: the effect of the proposed advertisement on the visual amenity

What decided it

The less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Spalding Conservation Area and its setting, caused by the tall, imposing and visually intrusive nature of the hub and digital displays, was not outweighed by the public benefits of the proposal.
