Expected Decision Level:	Delegation

The proposed signage are different in design and size compared to the previous application 06/01221/D, However I do not consider the alterations will cause any adverse visual impacts to the detriment of the surrounding properties.

For this reason the proposals would seem appropriate in these locations and therefore my recommendation is for an approval.

I consider that the following meet the criteria of Government Circular 1/06 and should be afforded interested party status:
