About this application

This is a planning application for window replacement at Saffron Summer 15 Church Street Reigate Surrey RH2 0AA. Reigate has handled 4,844 applications of this type. This one was decided in 91 days, 5 weeks longer than Reigate's typical decision time. The site is in the Reigate Town Centre conservation area, with 7 listed buildings nearby. There has been 1 other application at this address. In the past year there have been 235 applications across Reigate. We hold 911 applications in total for the RH2 postcode area.

Why it was refused

  1. The proposed signage, by virtue of the size, siting and height of the fascia advert, the nature of the box sign and the size of the lettering, would result in an overly prominent and obtrusive advert, harmful to the visual amenity of the wider area and the Reigate Town Centre Conservation Area, to which it would cause less than substantial harm, but this is not outweighed by any public benefit. The proposal would thereby be contrary to the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) Regulations 2007, Policy CS4 of the Reigate and Banstead Core Strategy (2014), Policies DES1, DES10 and NHE9 of the Reigate and Banstead Development Management Plan (2019), the Reigate Town Centre Shop Front Design SPD (2020) and the Shopfront and Shop Sign Design Guide SPD (2001).

From the council's decision notice.
