Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the disputed condition is reasonable and necessary in the interests of amenity and public safety
What decided it
The original condition's uniform 300 cd/m² limit was unreasonable during daylight hours as it would make the display barely legible and potentially distracting, whereas a higher daytime limit controlled by ambient light adaptation and professional guidance standards would protect highway safety and amenity without unnecessary restriction.
Framework references: 132
