Why it was refused

  1. The proposed advertisement would result in forty-nine windows being covered in imagery which is excessive. It would result in an incongruous feature which would be visually intrusive to the street scene and would result in a negative impact upon the visual amenity of the area. The proposal is contrary to Policies SP11 and DM18 of the Local Plan Fourth Edition, the Design Principles SPD, CNDP6 of the Colne Neighbourhood Plan and HE6 of the National Planning Policy Framework. Planning, Building Control and Regulatory Services Assistant Director Application Ref: 26/0570/ADV Date: 29th October 2026 a) The Regulations provide that every grant of express consent shall be for a fixed period which shall not be longer than five years from the date of grant of consent without the approval of the Secretary of State and if no period is specified the consent shall have effect as consent for five years. b) It is a condition of the consent that before any advertisement is displayed on land in pursuance of the consent grant, the permission of the owner of that land or other person entitled to grant permission in relation thereto shall be obtained. Anyone who does not obtain the landowners consent contravenes the Regulations. c) A person displaying an advertisement in contravention of these Regulations shall be liable on summary conviction of an offence under section 224 of the Act to a fine of an amount of not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale and, in the case of a continuing offence, £40 for each day during which the offence continues after conviction. d) As this is a decision to refuse express consent for the display of an advertisement if you want to appeal against your local planning authority’s decision then you must do so within 8 weeks of the date of receipt of this notice. The Secretary of State is not required to entertain such an appeal if it appears to him, having regard to the provisions of the Regulations, that consent for the display of advertisements in respect of which application was made could not have been granted by the local planning authority otherwise than subject to the conditions imposed by them. e) Appeals should be made online via https://appeal-planning-decision.service.gov.uk/before- you-start. If someone does not have access to the internet and needs help completing the appeal digitally, they should contact the Planning Inspectorate customer service team on 0303 444 5000 who will provide details of support options available. Before making an appeal, you may find it helpful to review guidance and watch a video explaining the appeals process at https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/make-an- appeal-to-the-planning-inspectorate-and-associated-guidance. All information submitted will be available for the public to view on the internet. The Planning Inspectorate have introduced an online appeals service which you can use to make an appeal online – see https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate. The Inspectorate will publish details of your appeal on the internet, including the original planning application form, supporting documents supplied to the local authority by you and with the completed appeal form and information you sent to the Planning Inspectorate. Please ensure that you only provide information, including personal information belonging to you that you are happy will be made available to others in this way. If you supply personal information belonging to a third party please ensure you have their permission to do so.
