1. Positive support		2. No objection
3. Objection		4. Objection unless revised as below	X
5. No comment/neutral		6. Lack of detail
7. Decision already issued

Reason for objection:

Objection unless revised as below.

This application form is deficient as it does not disclose details of the materials for the proposed new signage. The drawings of the proposed signage are unclear about the illumination details and the projecting signs would contain cheap vinyl lettering.

Consistent with our approach to improving the quality of signage throughout the AMP/ CA, & in particular on designated assets such as this grade 2 listed building, the applicant should utilise better materials/ finishes on the projecting signs & any illuminations should be of a spot & low emissions type.
