General Policy 6
Requires advertisements in towns to be high standard design relating well to the building/site, in keeping with the area, and not causing highway hazards. Officer considered this alongside EP37 but gave less weight, finding the signage appropriate in design and with no safety issues raised.
Environment Policy 32
Prohibits extensions or alterations to Registered Buildings that detrimentally affect their special architectural or historic interest. Assessed as compliant since signage changes were limited and would not harm the building's character.
Environment Policy 37
Permits advertisements in Conservation Areas only if they preserve/enhance the area, use appropriate style and traditional materials (excluding glossy/reflective or illuminated box signs). Given greatest weight; acrylic was not ideal but signage small/unobtrusive and would rejuvenate tired elements without detriment.
Time limit
The works hereby granted registered building consent shall be begun before the expiration of four years from the date of this consent. Reason: To comply with paragraph 2(2)(a) of schedule 3 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1999 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented registered building consents.
