SPLIT DECISION

Description of application – Nine non-illuminated railing mounted signs, four non-illuminated post mounted directional signs, one non-illuminated balcony banner and four non-illuminated hanging signs with posts.

Ward Member, Councillor Katy Boughey, referred to the history of the site and its signage and sympathised with the local residents objections and objected to the proposed non-illuminated balcony banner.  Councillor Suraj Sharma agreed with Councillor Boughey and also objected to the non-illuminated balcony banner.

Members having considered the report and objections, RESOLVED the following:-

1.  ADVERTISEMENT CONSENT be GRANTED for the NINE NON-ILLUMINATED RAILING MOUNTED SIGNS, FOUR NON-ILLUMINATED POST MOUNTED DIRECTIONAL SIGNS AND FOUR NON-ILLUMINATED HANGING SIGNS WITH POSTS subject to the conditions set out in the report of the Chief Planner.

2.  ADVERTISEMENT CONSENT be REFUSED for the NON-ILLUMINATED BALCONY BANNER SIGN for the following reason:-

GROUND OF REFUSAL:  The proposed sign, due to its size and location would be in conflict with Policy 102 of the Bromley Local Plan, being out of character with the surrounding area and detrimental to the visual amenities of the street scene in this Conservation Area.
