Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effects of the proposed advertisement on highway safety and visual amenity, with particular regard to the character and appearance of the Brixton Conservation Area

What decided it

The proposal would have an unacceptable effect on pedestrian and highway safety due to its size, siting and design, impeding access to the shelter and buses and potentially forcing pedestrians into the road.
