Why it was refused

  1. The submitted plans and supporting information are inaccurate, as they fail to properly reflect the current on-site situation and do not clearly or correctly depict the existing unauthorised advertisements or the development proposed. Notwithstanding, the proposed advertisements by virtue of their design, quantum, scale, siting and illumination would be visually intrusive and overly prominent, resulting in visual clutter and cumulatively appearing as an obtrusive feature in the street scene. The proposal is harmful to the street scene, the character of the area, and visual amenity generally contrary to policy JP-P1 of Places For Everyone, Policy C1 of the Tameside Unitary Development Plan and Paragraph 141 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
  2. The submitted plans and supporting information are inaccurate and fail to correctly reflect the on-site situation, including the extent of existing unauthorised advertisements. Furthermore, the applicant has failed to provide sufficient details regarding the illumination of the advertisements, such that it has not been demonstrated that the proposal would avoid adverse impacts on public safety, particularly in relation to highway safety, contrary to Paragraph 116 of the National Planning Policy Framework. REASON FOR REFUSING PLANNING PERMISSION Statement under Article 35 (2) of the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) England Order 2015 (as amended): The proposal would not improve the economic, social and environmental conditions of the area nor does it comply with the development plan and therefore does not comprise sustainable development. There were no amendments to the scheme, or conditions which could reasonably have been imposed, which could have made the development acceptable and it was therefore not possible to approve the application. The Local Planning Authority has therefore implemented the requirement in Paragraph 39 of the NPPF.
