We'll drink to that! NELC gives green light for proposed new signage outside Waltham hostelry

 

How the front of the pub-restaurant is soon likely to look


A FACELIFT is in prospect for the outside of The King's Head pub in Waltham.

Its owners, Mitchells and Butlers, has secured advertisement consent from North East Lincolnshire Council to display the following:

* One externally illuminated totem sign

* One externally illuminated sign written panel

* One non-illuminated hand painted sign to the front of restaurant

|The application did not go before NELC's planning committee but was determined under delegated powers by case officer Bethany Loring.

In her report, she states: "The design of the signs is functional and simple in a white-and-black colour scheme. 

"The site is located within Waltham Conservation Area and close to some listed buildings, but the council's heritage officer, has  raised no objection.

"The signage will be wholly located within the site and does not extend into the highway so that it does not hinder pedestrian traffic or cause any safety issues. 

"Similarly, the totem and other illuminated signage will  be static and  located so as not to obscure visibility splays for passing traffic.

"There will be no adverse impact on the amenity of neighbouring businesses or residential property."

The parish council also supported the proposal which attracted no objections from any villagers.
