Application 2 - Internally illuminated flex box sign (Sign C) – 15/01917/SPLADV

Oral representations in objection to the applications were received at the meeting.  In Councillor Scoates’ opinion the signs and potential light pollution were inappropriate for area.

Members having considered the report, objections and representations, RESOLVED A SPLIT DECISION:-

that PERMISSION be GRANTED as recommended for Signs B, D and E,subject to the conditions set out in the report of the Chief Planner,

that PERMISSION BE REFUSED for Signs A and C for the following reason:-

1.  The proposed internally illuminated entrance sign (Sign A) and internally illuminated flex box sign (Sign C) would, by reason of their scale and design, result in an excess of advertising matter within the site, detrimental to the visual amenities of the streetscene and of the area in in general, contrary to Policy BE21 of the Unitary Development Plan.
