Addresses advertisements in Conservation Areas. Combined with GP6, the officer confirmed the signs meet principles for sensitive siting, with no adverse harm to the proposed conservation area's historic building or streetscene despite initial concerns mitigated by amendments.
Environment Policy 37
Requires avoiding glossy/reflective materials and excludes projecting box/fascia signs. Officer noted general avoidance of internally illuminated box signs but accepted this one due to small scale (2.1m x 1m x 0.1m), diffused lighting, and location on stone wall in commercial area without dominating the building.
Time limit for implementation
The advertisement(s) hereby granted consent shall be begun before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice. Reason: To avoid the accumulation of unimplemented advertisement consents.
