Why it was refused

The proposed two digital 75-inch LCD display screens with advertisements would contribute to unacceptable visual clutter to the detriment of the public realm. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies T9, Q5, Q6, and Q17, of the Lambeth Local Plan 2021.
The proposed digital 75-inch LCD display screens, by reason of their siting adjacent to a busy section of Clapham Road and immediately beside a bus and cycle lane, would introduce a distracting visual element that would compromise highway safety. It would also introduce unnecessary street furniture, resulting in additional street clutter and an obstruction on the footway, harming the quality and accessibility of the public realm, including for visually impaired people. The proposal is therefore contrary to London Plan Policies T4, D8 and D3, as well as the Mayor's Vision Zero objectives and TfL's Streetscape Guidance.

From the council's decision notice.
