Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed advertisement on visual amenity, with particular regard the effect on the Grade II listed building, the Central Conservation Area, and the setting of nearby listed buildings
What decided it
The combination of the very large advertisement with the incorrect image of the building depicted on the shroud creates a confused and over-dominant appearance that is harmful to visual amenity, particularly in relation to the Grade II listed building, the Central Conservation Area, and the setting of nearby listed buildings.
