The application sought consent to erect several new advertisement signs on the front of Carlton House, 2 Bridge Street, which sits within the Peel Conservation Area. The building was in the process of changing use from a music shop to an event hire showroom and office, and the multiple signs reflected the range of services being offered from the premises. The signs were described as relatively simple in layout and colouring, following the form of the building and consistent with signage found elsewhere in this part of the conservation area's commercial centre. The Conservation Officer engaged directly with the applicant and was satisfied that the proposed signage was in keeping with what was already on the building, recommending approval on that basis.
The signs were judged acceptable because they were simple in design, followed the building's form, and were consistent with signage elsewhere in the commercial part of the Peel Conservation Area. The Conservation Officer's involvement and endorsement was a key factor in reaching that conclusion.
