Restaurant Owner's Anger at Eyesore Billboard

A Leicestershire restauranteur who is spending £175,000 converting a derelict Melton pub is angry at the erection of a huge advertising billboard adjacent to the site.
 
Atul Dawda plans to open an Indian restaurant on the site of the Bricklayer's Arms, which has been closed for a decade.
 
He says he was not consulted about the illuminated billboard, which is 5.40 metres high and 6 metres wide, and is concerned it will detract from the appearance of his property and have a detrimental impact on trade.
 
Mr Dawda said that when he bought the vacant pub the area of land where the billboard is sited, which is thought to belong to Melton Council, was an attractive green space with trees and plants. Now Mr Dawda calls the site "an eyesore."
 
The authority's regulatory services manager, Pat Reid, wrote to Mr Dawda to state that the council was happy with the positioning of the billboard, adding:
 
"While I understand that you may not be satisfied with this response, I can only reiterate that the advertising company applied for and received the necessary consent and the sign seems to be in accordance with that consent."
