Plans to install a banner sign at KFC at Cardigan Fields in Burley have been refused by council planners.
The fried chicken chain had applied for planning permission for a number of signs at the restaurant.
These included a new internally illuminated fascia sign; new externally illuminated banner frame sign; new non-illuminated height restriction sign; new externally applied vinyl graphics and new window vinyl graphics.
While the majority of signs were approved as part of the split decision, the council refused the banner frame sign.
A planning officer’s report said: “The Local Planning Authority considers that the proposed banner frame sign… by virtue of its excessive size, scale, length and prominent site frontage position, fails to be well designed and sensitively located and as a result it is considered to significantly harmful to the character and general visual amenity of the prevailing streetscene.”
The plans can be viewed in full here.
