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 conservation area caused by the tall, imposing and incongruous hub and illuminated digital screens would not be outweighed by the public benefits of the proposal.
