5.

6. Reason for Approval This application is satisfactory in that the design of the proposed retrospective installation of 1no. internally illuminated sign accords with the principles of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and, where appropriate, the Council has worked with the applicant in a positive and proactive way in line with the NPPF. In addition the retrospective installation of 1no. internally illuminated sign accords with the local policy requirements (Policies CS4, CS5, DC1 of the Council's Local Development Framework). In particular the retrospective installation of 1no. internally illuminated sign is designed so that the appearance is complementary to the existing dwellinghouse and so that it will not have a detrimental impact on the amenity of any adjoining or nearby resident. The retrospective installation of 1no. internally illuminated sign will not prejudice the character and appearance of the area and will not significantly affect any landscaping nor prevent adequate and safe access to the site. The application is therefore considered to be an acceptable form of development, fully in accordance with the relevant policy guidance and there are no material considerations which would indicate that the development should be refused.
7. Removal After Permission Expires The advertisements hereby granted consent shall be removed from site after the expiry of five years from the date of this consent. Following the removal of the advertisements the site shall be left in a safe condition that does not cause danger, nuisance or hazard to the public or impair visual amenity to the reasonable satisfaction of the Local Planning Authority. Reason: To protect the visual and residential amenities of the area having regard for Policies DC1, CS4 and CS5 of the Local Plan and section 12 of the NPPF.
8. Removal of adjacent yellow pole mounted signs The four yellow pole mounted signs (previously granted approval under 18/0804/ADV) shall be removed within 6 months of this Decision Notice being issued. Reason: To minimise the proliferation of signage in the area thereby protecting the visual amenity of the area having regard to Policies DC1, CS4, CS5 of the Local Plan and Section 12 of the NPPF.
