The Development Manager reported on an application for retrospective consent for the painted advertisement on the roof of the fish and chip shop/kiosk on the Lower Promenade in Warrior Square.
The site is located on the Lower Promenade within Warrior Square. The site does not adjoin any neighbouring properties, but is within close proximity to purpose built beach shelters. The site is within the Warrior Square Conservation area and the Central St. Leonards Cultural Quarter.
The advertisement is located on the north facing roof slope of the existing kiosk. Due to the differing levels from the Lower Promenade and the Upper Promenade the roof slope of the kiosk displaying the advertisement is clearly visible within the street scene of Warrior Square.
The main issues were the impacts on the Warrior Square Conservation Area and the character and appearance of the area; amenity and public safety. Having considered all the matters, the Development Manager considered that the placement of advertisements on roofs within a Conservation Area would not generally be supported and would not be encouraged, on balance, in this instance, due to the lack of suitable alternatives he felt the advert was acceptable. The Development Manager recommended that Advertisement Consent be granted subject to conditions.
The Human Rights considerations have been taken into account fully in balancing the planning issues.
A report containing some late electronic comments received since the publication of the agenda was circulated to the Committee prior to the meeting.
Councillor Scott proposed a motion to approve the application as set out in the resolution below. This was seconded by Councillor Roberts.
