Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed advertisements would have an acceptable effect upon the visual amenity of the area including whether they would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Mercers Road and Tavistock Terrace Conservation Area
- Whether the proposed scheme would have an acceptable effect upon highway and pedestrian safety
What decided it
The proposal would cause unacceptable harm to the visual amenities of the area and the character and appearance of the Conservation Area through the introduction of large illuminated LCD screens into a streetscene currently defined by the absence of such features, and would create potential distraction hazards at a nearby junction.
