Why it was refused

  1. The proposed advert, by reason of its design, illumination, size, siting and colours, is out of keeping with the character and appearance of the host building and the surrounding area and has an undue impact on the street scene, accentuated by its proximity to and relationship with Listed Buildings, contrary to Policy JP-P1 of Places for Everyone and Supplementary Planning Document `General Design Principles'.

From the council's decision notice.
