Officer report

Why officers supported it

Officers considered the siting, design and scale acceptable, with negligible impacts, and found the bilingual sign complied with relevant policies.

“The siting is considered acceptable given that the proposed development is situated far enough away from the public road. There is no illumination on the sign, therefore it is not considered an overt distraction to road users. The design and appearance are considered acceptable, and the scale of the development is considered acceptable given that the scale does not have a negative visual impact on the surrounding area.”

“The proposal is a small scale development to provide a wooden sign post with 8 fingers, each finger highlighting the name, location, and distance of birds and their migration destinations. It is of an appropriate design and scale to ensure integration into the site and no impact upon neighbouring properties, roads, or the surrounding area. It will be informative, accessible to all, and is considered to comply with the relevant policies of the Joint Local Development Plan.”
