Planning Considerations.
The relevant policy advice for this application is contained within policy B18 of the Stroud District
Local Plan, Revised Deposit Version (as amended June 2001). The Policy seeks to allow
advertisements that are sympathetic in style, siting and materials, location, number and design
and where appropriate illumination to the building or location on which it is displayed and that it
will not prejudice public safety.
The addition of a new fascia in principle looks to be acceptable in this town centre location. The
previous applications all incorporated both additional text signage and corporate branding to the
fascia with blue neon strip lighting throughout the length of the fascia being included on the first
application but subsequently removed from the most recent application.
This revised application has reduced the amount of signage generally to the fascia of the
property with the level of illumination being reduced as well. This would result in the illumination
of the proposed signage being restricted to internal illumination of the co-op logos and the
internal illumination of the text.
This reduction in signage to the proposal, now has a suitable level of illumination for the town
centre site and the style is acceptable and in accordance with the above mentioned policy. The
application is therefore duly recommended for consent.
In compiling this recommendation we have given full consideration to all aspects of the Human
Rights Act 1988 in relation to the applicant and/or the occupiers of any neighbouring or affected
properties. In particular regard has been had to Article 8 of the ECHR (Right to Respect for
private and family life) and the requirement to ensure that any interference with the right in this
Article is both permissible and proportionate. On analysing the issues raised by the application no
particular matters, other than those referred to in this report, warranted any different action to that
recommended.
