Development and Site Allocations (DaSA) Local Plan - Options and Preferred Options

Representation ID: 22327

Received: 17/02/2017

Respondent: Mrs Rosalyn Day

Representation Summary:

It depends on what is considered appropriate. Sign illumination can be very thorny, particularly in areas that have little or no street lighting and the increasing drive towards reducing light pollution and improving "dark skies". I think the policy surrounding free-standing adverts on streets should be stronger - there are quite a few that reduce the usability of the pavement.
The policy on adverts in rural areas and "clutter" in the countryside should be more strongly worded to prevent too many roadside or field based signage.
