The officer assessed the main issues as the impact of the proposed signage on the character of the area, the existing building, and the street scene.
General Policy 2
Requires development in town centres to respect site surroundings in terms of scale, form, design, and not adversely affect character or amenity. The officer found the signage complies as it complements the modern facade, relates well to the building, and does not harm townscape or amenity.
General Policy 6
Permits external advertisements in towns if high standard design, relate well to building/site, in keeping with area, and no highway hazard. The signage was assessed as meeting these tests directly, with high quality acrylic materials and no objections from highways.
General Policy 7
Restricts advertisements not relating to the site/building. The sign relates directly to the on-site retail unit for the new tenant Age Concern, so complies without issue.
