The officer assessed the proposal against The Control of Advertisements Regulations 2013, which limit considerations to amenity (general area characteristics, historic/architectural features) and publ…
General Policy 6
Requires advertisements in towns/villages to be high standard design/materials relating well to building/site, in keeping with surroundings, and not cause highway hazard. Officer found signs acceptable in form/finish/size, negligible impact on mixed-use street scene, and no highway distraction after luminance review.
Environment Policy 37
Permits advertisements in Conservation Areas only if they preserve/enhance the area, use appropriate style/traditional materials (no glossy/reflective), and exclude internally illuminated box fascia/projecting box signs. Officer noted general avoidance of box signs but accepted this small side-elevation example as non-prominent with negligible impact; non-illuminated front sign fully compliant.
Time limit
The advertisement(s) hereby granted consent shall be begun before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice. Reason: To avoid the accumulation of unimplemented advertisement consents.
No intermittent lighting
The illuminated sign hereby granted consent shall not be lit by an intermittent source. Reason: In the interests of amenity and/or public safety.
Support (dated 12/10/2018)
DNOC - Do not oppose subject to condition (dated 02/11/2018). Luminance levels of the proposed box sign need to be provided to ensure that it will not distract passing traffic.
