Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the advertisement would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Knowle Conservation Area

What decided it

The modest size of the proposed sign, its positioning next to a larger existing totem, the commercial context of the site, and the lack of intervisibility with nearby locally listed buildings meant it would preserve rather than harm the character and appearance of the Knowle Conservation Area.
