Why it was refused
- The proposed signage by virtue of the method of illumination would detract from the visual amenity of the surrounding area and result in less than substantial harm to the setting of the heritage assets the Brentwood Town Centre Conservation Area. The proposed signage is contrary to policies BE14 and BE16 of the Brentwood Local Plan and the aims and objectives of the NPPF.
From the council's decision notice.
