Why it was refused

  1. By reason of its colour, size, and elevated location the illuminated sign distracts from and erodes the historic prominence and architectural interest of the main 18th century façade of the listed building. As such the illuminated sign would detract from the visual, historic and architectural features of the Grade II Listed Building thereby being harmful on amenity grounds, and would be contrary to Section 16 (2) and 66

From the council's decision notice.
