Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed advertisements on the visual amenity of the host building and the surrounding area

What decided it

The proposed advertisements would appear unduly prominent and visually intrusive, failing to integrate with the host building's high-quality architectural design and conflicting with the approved signage strategy and design guidance.

The commercial benefits of the signage for business viability and visibility did not outweigh the harm to visual amenity of the building and wider development.
