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

Reason for objection:

Objection.

This shop/ shop frontage is already in situ, therefore this PA is retrospective - Officers should take note. Whilst we do not object to the new externally lit hanging sign we do object to the new fascia signage, which comprises an internally lit acrylic light box & is at odds with the character & appearance of this important listing building & the wider CA. This objection is consistent with our concerns about other recent acrylic fascia signage in the AMP. Officers (Toby Feltham) have undertaken to support our approach.
