Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on visual amenity

What decided it

The small-scale, non-intrusive nature of the proposed advertisement set against the backdrop of trees and in the context of nearby commercial development and major roads means it would have an acceptable effect on visual amenity.

What the Inspector cited

Policy JP-P1 of the Places for Everyone Joint Development Plan (2024)
