Why it was refused
- The proposed adverts, by virtue of their design, illumination, size, siting and colours, would be out of keeping with the character and appearance of the host building and the surrounding area and would have an undue impact on the street scene, contrary to Policy JP-P1 of Places for Everyone and Supplementary Planning Document `General Design Principles'.
From the council's decision notice.
