What happens at appeal

This application is at appeal, which passes the decision from Guildford to the planning inspectorate, and the outcome will replace the council's decision. More in our guide to what happens after a planning decision.

About advertisement consent applications

Advertisement consent is judged on two things only: amenity and public safety, not competition or other planning considerations. More in our guide to planning application types.
