Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Appeal A: the effect of the proposed development on (i) the character and appearance of the area, including the setting of the adjacent Grade II listed Forum Theatre building, (ii) highway safety, and (iii) community safety and security
- Appeal B: the effect of the proposed advertisements on the amenity of the area, having regard to heritage assets
What decided it
The unacceptable harmful effect on the character and appearance of the area and the setting of the Grade II listed Forum Theatre building, combined with the adverse impact on highway safety through pedestrian obstruction, outweighed the modest public benefits of improved telecommunications infrastructure.
the modest public benefits of telecommunications infrastructure, free services and renewable energy were insufficient to offset the identified harm to character, appearance and the setting of the listed theatre building, and the harm to highway safety
