To note this is subject to a public consultation until 2 September 2022. The District Council have advised that the previous licence for this premises was surrendered on 15 February 2021 and therefore this is a new application.

g) Amended Plans & Contrary Decision – P22/S2213/A – Robert Stanley Opticians, 22 Cornmarket – Installation of one replacement fascia sign & one projecting sign (external illumination removed from hanging sign as shown on amended plans received 11 August 2022).
To note that having considered the amended plans, Officer consider that whilst the removal of the external illumination is welcome, the use of contemporary materials is out of character in the conservation area, and therefore the Town Council should maintain its objection made on 5 July 2022.
