The officer considered whether the signage would detrimentally affect the character of the Registered Building and its appropriateness for the Conservation Area.
Environment Policy 32
Policy prohibits extensions or alterations to a Registered Building that detrimentally affect its special architectural or historic interest. The officer assessed the signage and judged it would enhance the building and not undermine its special interest, being of high quality and in-keeping with the shop front.
Environment Policy 37
Policy permits advertisements in Conservation Areas only if they preserve or enhance the area, use appropriate style and traditional materials, and exclude internally illuminated box fascia and projecting box signs. The illuminated signage did not strictly comply but was accepted as it would enhance the Conservation Area's appearance and improve on existing signage.
Time limit
The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice.
