Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Appeal A: the effect of the proposal on highway safety
  • Appeal B: the effect of the proposed advertisement on public safety

What decided it

The combination of the kiosk's physical obstruction of visibility and the illuminated advertisement's potential to distract drivers at a sensitive location near a loading bay and pedestrian crossing would harm highway and public safety, outweighing the scheme's modest benefits.
