Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposed advertisement on visual amenity, with particular regard to character and appearance of the Streatham High Road/Streatham Hill Conservation Area
the effect of the proposed advertisement on public safety

What decided it

The north-facing advertisement would create unacceptable harm to public safety by introducing visual distraction at a location where drivers are already subject to multiple cognitive demands near traffic signals, and the illuminated digital format would harmfully conflict with the traditional character of the conservation area.

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
