The main issue was the impact of the proposed temporary vinyl advertisements on the character and appearance of the individual property and street scene.
General Policy 6
General Policy 6 permits external advertisements in towns if they are high standard design and materials relating well to the building/site, in keeping with surroundings, and not causing highway safety hazards. The officer assessed the vinyl signage on ground floor windows against these tests, finding minimal visual impact due to siting, scale, form, and design in an office area, with no highway concerns raised.
Temporary signage removal
The signage hereby approved is required to be removed from the site before the expiration of TWO years from the date of this decision notice or if and when the building is sold or let, whichever is the sooner.
