Erect and display 4 no. store billboard advertisement signs and 1 no. free standing billboard.

Minutes:

The Principal Planning Officer introduced the application and reported an amendment to the description of the proposal contained within the report which should have read, to erect and display 3 no. store billboard advertisement signs and 1 no. free standing billboard.  

 

Having considered the submitted plans, members unanimously expressed their support for the Officer’s recommendation.  The Committee felt that the three store billboard advertisement signs were acceptable, however the free standing billboard was disproportionately large in relation to its setting and was out of keeping with the surrounding residential area.

 

RESOLVED:

That planning permission is part approved and part refused subject to the conditions set out in Appendix 1 and the following reason for refusal:

 

The proposed free standing billboard advertisement is not considered to be acceptable when considered against the relevant considerations for advertisement consent Core Strategy policy CS6 and SAMDev policy MD2 as this advertisement board is considered to be of a scale which is visually harmful and prominent on the skyline and street scene.
