Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Appeal A: the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to the setting of a nearby listed building
  • Appeal B: the effect of the proposed advertisement on amenity

What decided it

The marginal increase in size of the replacement unit and its location within an established commercial street furniture context, combined with the absence of harmful effects on the listed building's setting and visual amenity, justified allowing both appeals.
