Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed advertisement on amenity
What decided it
The removal of adjoining development has fundamentally altered the site context, such that the proposed illuminated digital display would appear visually intrusive and incongruous within an exposed and isolated roadside position, contrary to the interests of amenity.
What the Inspector cited
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 11
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.
