Environment Policy 37
Policy permits advertisements in Conservation Areas only if they preserve or enhance the area, use appropriate style, traditional materials excluding glossy/reflective finishes, and exclude internally illuminated box fascia/projecting box signs. The officer tested the proposal's style, materials (di-bond aluminium, flat cut acrylic), and non-illuminated individual letters, finding them appropriate and acceptable despite materials not being high quality, thus preserving/enhancing the area.
