Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect on the character and appearance of the Waterloo Conservation Area and on the setting of other heritage assets

What decided it

The replacement of existing illuminated advertisements with updated LCD technology at an established bus shelter would cause no harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area or heritage assets, particularly given that similar upgrades had recently been consented at a more sensitive location opposite.
