Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Appeal A: the effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the area
- Appeal B: the effect of the proposed advertisement upon the amenity of the area
What decided it
The substantial width of the footway and the commercial character of the area mean the proposed structure would not become an unacceptably dominant feature and would represent a replacement of existing street furniture rather than an addition.
The proposal accords with the development plan as a whole and Framework policies; there are no material considerations that would lead to a decision other than in accordance with the development plan.
