1. The advertisements (sign 1 and one sign 2 to the southern (right hand) side of the site’s access), by virtue of their number, close position to each other, and in conjunction with other signs in a limited area to the front of the site, would result in an excessive proliferation of advertisements in this predominantly residential area that would detrimentally affect the visual amenity and residential character of the locality, contrary to the objectives of policy NBE9 of the adopted Hart Local Plan - Strategy and Sites 2016-2032, saved policies GEN1 and URB24 of the Hart District Council Local Plan (Replacement) 1996 – 2006 and paragraph 132 of the NPPF.

Display of 1 x non illuminated mounted signage, 2 x non illuminated off fence mounted signage and 1 x non illuminated fascia signage.

Members considered the application and discussed the following:

·       Whether three signs were required at the entrance.

·       The semi-rural location and the possibility of increased traffic.

·       If the signs changed the nature of the environment and were they visually unappealing.

·       Permissions for Use Class B8 on a residential road suggested large signs were not commensurate with that expectation.

·       Whether the signs are not in keeping with the site’s Use Class.

·       That some of the signs could be approved and some refused.

·       Whether the fence could be seen from either direction.

·       Over emphasising the commercial nature of the business and proliferation.

Members were informed:

·       That investigations were ongoing regarding the use of the site and its possible change of class.

·       Potential breaches of planning conditions may had taken place and enforcement were involved.
