Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed digital advertisement on the amenity of the area

The internal illumination combined with the large scale of the proposed digital advertisement would be disproportionately obtrusive and harmful to the visual amenity of the streetscene, which is characterised by modest mixed townscape with small-scale built form.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- BE13(b)
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 141
