Description

Wall mounted A1 frames on Levels 1, 2, 3 and 4 of the car park

Decision

This application had been submitted because the car park is owned by Epsom & Ewell Borough Council.  Consent was sought to display commercial advertising on A1 size advertising poster frames on the walls of the Ashley Centre car park.

It was confirmed that the application would have an acceptable impact on amenity and would not affect highway safety, meeting planning policy and was therefore acceptable.

An amendment to Condition 3 was proposed in the Update Report and agreed.
