Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether condition 2 is reasonable and necessary having regard to the effect of the advertisement on amenity and public safety

What decided it

The advertisement's acceptable design, appearance and location, combined with the automatic 5-year restriction imposed by the Regulations and the absence of substantive evidence demonstrating unacceptable effects on amenity or public safety beyond that period, rendered the condition unnecessary and unreasonable.
