Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

- The effect of the proposed advertisement on amenity
- The effect of the proposed advertisement on public safety
What decided it
The substantial harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area and its setting, which could not be justified by the telecommunications and public service benefits of the proposal.
The benefits of the proposal, including telecommunications infrastructure and public services, attracted substantial weight, but the high level of harm to the significance of the conservation area, also afforded substantial weight, was not outweighed by those benefits; the adverse effects substantially outweighed the benefits when assessed against the Framework's national decision-making policies.
