19/01162/ADV - Display of 1 No. non illuminated free standing sign (retrospective application).

(In reaching its decision, the Committee took into consideration the Planning Officer’s report (previously circulated), and five letters of objection to the original submission.

It was noted that subsequent to the original submission, which made an application for an illuminated sign, a further consultation exercise had been carried out by the Council, and that two of the objectors had withdrawn their comments. It was further noted that the comments in the three remaining objection letters all related to concerns over the sign being illuminated, which was no longer the case).
