Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Appeal A: the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including the setting of the Clapham High Street Conservation Area and nearby listed buildings
  • Appeal A: pedestrian and highway safety
  • Appeal A: crime and anti-social behaviour
  • Appeal B: the effect of the proposed advertisements on the visual amenity of the area, and on public safety

What decided it
