Why it was refused

  1. The proposed digital display sign, by reason of its appearance, size and means of illumination, would constitute an obtrusive feature which would cause significant harm to the visual amenities of the conservation area by way of its contrary character and excessive addition to the presence of the filling station. Therefore, the proposal would be contrary to Policy P15 and P16 of the Solihull Local Plan 2013.

From the council's decision notice.
