Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including the setting of nearby listed buildings and the setting of Redchurch Street Conservation Area
the effect of the proposal on public safety
the effect of the proposed advertisement on the visual amenity of the area
the effect of the proposed advertisement on public safety

What decided it

The proposal's slender form, positioning amongst existing street furniture in a busy urban context, and sufficient separation from heritage assets meant it would not cause unacceptable harm to character, appearance, visual amenity or public safety.

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.
