Why it was refused

  1. The signage by virtue of its design, size, illumination and siting is out of keeping with the character of the area and the design and appearance of this Grade II listed building, to the detriment of visual amenity and is contrary to Policy JP-P1 of Places for Everyone Joint Development Plan and Supplementary Planning Document `General Design Principles'.

From the council's decision notice.
