About this application

This is a planning application for signage at Mildmay House High Street Hartley Wintney Hook Hampshire RG27 8NY. Hart has handled 4,028 applications of this type. This one was decided in 55 days. The site is in a conservation area, with 6 listed buildings nearby. There are no previous applications recorded at this address. We hold 2,205 applications in total for the RG27 postcode area.

Why it was refused

  1. The advertisements by means of their size, materials, position and illumination fail to preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the conservation area, causing harm to visual and historic amenity, and also result in harm to the setting of the nearby listed buildings. Furthermore the advertisements do not represent high quality design that positively contributes to the overall appearance of the local area. The degree of illumination also negatively affects the amenity of occupiers of nearby properties. The advertisements therefore fail to comply with Policies NBE8 and NBE9 of the HLP32, Saved Policies GEN1 and URB24 and Policies HW5, HW6 and HW7 of the adopted Hartley Wintney Neighbourhood Plan (2019).
  2. The submitted Lighting Assessment (Ref: YM/Khurana/1125/ym) fails to demonstrate compliance with the guidance from the Institution of Lighting Professionals- GN01:2021 (Guidance Notes for the Reduction of Obtrusive Light) and PLG05 The Brightness Of Illuminated Advertisements. The potential for negative impacts to neighbouring residents results in a proposal that does not accord with Saved Hart Local Plan 06 Policy GEN1.

From the council's decision notice.
