Installation of signage to outside seating area barriers

Why Was This Approved?

• ✓Signage on outside seating area barriers at a Conservation Area site
• ✓Assessed against General Policy 6 (amenity and highway safety)
• ✓Assessed against Environment Policy 37 (Conservation Area preservation or enhancement)
• ✓Approved under delegated authority with two conditions

The proposal involved installing signage on the barriers surrounding the outside seating area at Pizza Hut, 1, 3 & 5 Walpole Avenue, Douglas. The site sits within a Conservation Area, meaning the visual impact of any new signage required careful assessment. The key planning policies applied were General Policy 6, which requires advertisements to be acceptable in amenity and highway safety terms, and Environment Policy 37, which requires development to preserve or enhance the Conservation Area. The signage was judged to meet both tests and was approved under delegated authority.

The signage was considered acceptable in amenity and highway safety terms under General Policy 6, and was found to preserve or enhance the Conservation Area as required by Environment Policy 37. On that basis, the application was permitted subject to two conditions.
