Why it was refused

  1. The proposal is contrary to Policy 14, Design, Quality and Place of National Planning Framework 4 (2023) and placemaking policies 1A and 1B of the Perth and Kinross Local Development Plan 2(2019) as the proposals would not respect the character and amenity of the area and would not contribute positively to the quality of the surrounding built environment. The digital advertisement located on the proposed communications kiosk would result in unnecessary clutter and is of a scale, height and visual prominence which would have an adverse impact on the character and amenity of the city centre public realm.
  2. The proposal is contrary to Policy 24e), Digital Infrastructure of National Planning Framework 4 (2023) and Policy 59 Digital Infrastructure of the Perth and Kinross Local Development Plan 2 (2019) as the proposal due to its visual prominence will physically dominate the space in front of the St John's Centre and be visually intrusive within the street scene. The illuminated digital advertisement on the kiosk, located at right angles to the existing buildings would disrupt the rhythm of the street and not contribute to or enhance the character or amenity of the area. The advertisement creates additional visual clutter rather than reducing it.

From the council's decision notice.
