Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Appeal A: the effect of the appeal proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Brierley Hill Conservation Area
- Appeal B: the effect of the proposed advertisement on amenity, with particular regard to the character and appearance of the Brierley Hill Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposal would harm the character and appearance of the Brierley Hill Conservation Area through visual dominance and clutter, and the public benefits offered were insufficient to outweigh this heritage harm.
