Planning Application for New Signs

The main topic was an application for two new signs at an access site. The signs are proposed to be placed 10 meters from the road, with a total height of two meters and a width of four meters. The committee reviewed the existing access to the site and the proposed location of the signs.

The highway authority raised no objections regarding safety, which was a significant point of discussion. Photos of the current site and the proposed changes were shown to the members. The committee also discussed the removal of existing signs as part of the new application.
