Why it was refused
- The proposed digital displays, by reason of their siting, scale, digital design and brightness would introduce a visually prominent and incongruous form of advertising to a sensitive historic area. The proposed displays would cause less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Clapham High Street Conservation Area, less than substantial harm to the setting of the locally listed buildings nos. 35, 47 and 21-31 Clapham High Street and less that substantial harm to the setting of the Grade-II listed terrace nos. 24 to 32 Clapham High Street. The harm identified has not been outweighed by public benefits. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies T2, SI 6 and D8 of the London Plan (2021), Policies Q2, Q5, Q6, Q17, Q20, Q22, Q23 and T9 of the Lambeth Local Plan 2020-2035 (2021), the NPPF (2024) and the aims of the Lambeth Advertising and Signage Guidance (January 2016).
- The proposed digital displays, by reason of their brightness, sequential changes and siting would obstruct pedestrian sightlines and introduce a distraction for drivers thereby leading to an increase in road danger. The proposal would harm highway and public safety and would therefore fail to comply with Policies Q2, Q5, Q6 and Q17 of the Lambeth Local Plan 2020-2035 (2021) and Policy T4 of the London Plan (2021).
- The proposed digital displays, by reason of their siting and design would fail to reduce opportunities for crime and anti-social behaviour to the detriment of community safety and security, contrary to Policy Q3 of the Lambeth Local Plan (2021).
From the council's decision notice.
