Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed advertisement on visual amenity, with particular regard to whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Conservation Area

What decided it

The absence of genuine, contemporaneous building renovation works meant the shroud advertisement could not be justified as a temporary measure during necessary repairs, and therefore would unacceptably harm the visual amenity and character of the Conservation Area.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Lambeth Local Plan 2020-2035 paragraph 10.80Council's Advertisement & Signage Guidance – January 2016

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.
