The officer determined that the modest-sized, non-illuminated signboard would not impact the surrounding streetscene or harm habitats, as it is sited away from the roadside.
General Policy 8
Relates to rural advertisements. The non-illuminated sign is modest, set back from the highway, poses no safety risks, and limits visual intrusion, meeting policy tests for amenity and public safety.
Time limit
The development hereby approved shall be begun before the expiration of four years from the date of this decision notice. Reason: To comply with Article 26 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2019 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.

The advertisement hereby approved shall be used to display information relating to the heritage of the Foxdale Mines only. Should the signboard be no longer used or required for these purposes then the posts and board shall be removed with three months of the sign no longer being used. Reason: to protect the countryside from unwarranted advertisements.
