The critical issue was the visual impact of the sign on the character and appearance of the area alongside the Conservation Area.
General Policy 6
Requires advertisements in towns/villages to be high standard design/material, relate well to building/site, in keeping with surroundings, and not cause highway safety hazard. Officer assessed the aluminium sign as matching existing signage size/position, relating to the on-site cafe/bowling green, occupying small wall area in a sea-dominated setting, and posing no highway risk.
Environment Policy 36
Permits development outside but close to Conservation Area boundary only if no detrimental effect on important views. Officer confirmed the small-scale sign on the wall would not affect views into/out of the adjacent Conservation Area, given the dominant natural features like sea and rocks.
