The officer assessed the signage against policies protecting Registered Buildings and Conservation Areas, requiring developments to preserve or enhance character without detrimental impact.
Strategic Policy 4
Requires proposals to protect or enhance Registered Buildings, Conservation Areas, and avoid environmental harm. Officer confirmed signage protects the building's fabric and setting without detriment.

Permits advertisements in towns if high design standard, relating well to building/site, in keeping with area, and no highway hazard. Signage met all criteria due to modest scale and appropriate location.
