Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on amenity

What decided it

The isolated and prominent siting of the advertisement within the soft landscaped central reservation would appear visually intrusive and atypical within a section of Parkway currently characterised by an absence of commercial signage, thereby harming amenity.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy JP-P1 of the Places for Everyone Joint Development Plan (2024)Trafford Metropolitan Borough Planning Guidelines – Advertisements (1995)
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 141

How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
