Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal on highway safety and the creation of safe places
The effect of the proposed advertisements on public safety

What decided it

The proposal would unacceptably harm highway safety and public safety through distraction to motorists at a sensitive location where concentration is required, which could not be adequately mitigated by conditions.

The benefits of digital infrastructure provision and renewable energy were outweighed by the unacceptable harm to highway safety and public safety at a sensitive road location.
