About this application
This is a planning application for signage at Land Adj To 34 London Road Bishops Stortford Hertfordshire CM23 5NF. East Hertfordshire has handled 13,484 applications of this type. This one was decided in 55 days, 8 days quicker than East Hertfordshire's typical decision time. There are no previous applications recorded at this address. In the past year there have been 56 applications across Bishop's Stortford All Saints. We hold 3,123 applications in total for the CM23 postcode area.
Why it was refused
- The proposed street hub advertisement by reason of its siting and internal illumination would represent a prominent, incongruous and discordant addition within the existing streetscene which would fail to preserve the distinct characteristic of the designated Bishops Stortford Conservation Area. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies DES6 and HA6 of the East Herts District Plan 2018.
From the council's decision notice.
