For further details on all Great Shelford planning applications, please visit our Planning Applications Database and select Great Shelford from the drop-down list of parishes.

Decision:

 The Committee approved the rectangular signs to side elevations, subject to the Condition set out in the report from the Corporate Manager (Planning and New Communities), but refused the proposed fascia sign to the front elevation by virtue of its modern projecting lettering and use of non-traditional acrylic materials being unduly prominent and unsympathetic in appearance within the special historic centre of Great Shelford, designated as a Conservation Area.  Members considered the fascia sign to be contrary to the requirements of Policies CH/4 and CH/8 of the South Cambridgeshire Development Control Policies Development Plan Document 2007, the South Cambridgeshire Development Affecting Conservation Areas Supplementary Planning Document 2009, the Great Shelford Village Design Statement and Planning Policy statement 5 (Planning for the Historic Environment), all of which require advertisements either to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of Conservation Areas and to contribute positively to the appearance of an attractive and cared-for environment.
