Streetscape and estate entrance character

The proposal was for retrospective permission to retain an erected advertising hoarding (1230mm x 2500mm) on a landscaped embankment strip adjacent to Cooil Road, at the entrance to the applicant's vehicle sales and hire site within the Barley Field Industrial Estate.

Refusal Reasons

✗The signage is intrusive due to its size and position in what is intended to be a landscaped strip to soften the impact of the development within the Barley Field industrial estate. The sign is also unnecessary as permission has been granted for signage including reference to the users within the estate, under PA 04/1415, thus avoiding the proliferation of individual signage for each of the estate's occupants.
