Why it was refused

  1. The proposed advertising screen, due to its location adjacent to the A56/A680 roundabout, would have a severe impact on highway and public safety, which would be contrary to Paragraph 116 of the NPPF and contrary to paragraph 60 of Department for Transport Policy Circular 01/2022.
  2. The proposed advertising screen would require excavations on the embankment which is owned by National Highways. This has the potential to lead to destabilisation of the highway which would be detrimental to highway and public safety in the area and would also be contrary to Paragraph 116 of the NPPF and contrary to paragraph 60 of Department for Transport Policy Circular 01/2022.
  3. The signage would appear out of place and unduly prominent in a semi-rural landscape, and would have a significant adverse effect on the visual amenity of the area. The proposal would introduce an incongruous feature that would be out of keeping with the character of the area. As such it would be contrary to the NPPF and Policies ENV1 and ENV3 of the Rossendale Local Plan.

From the council's decision notice.
