MID Devon District Council planners will discuss a planning application by Mr R Brookes-Hocking for Advertisement Consent to display eight non-illuminated heritage trail information panels at various locations in Crediton, at a planning committee meeting on Wednesday, December 5.

Reports on the Mid Devon District Council website say that the plan is for eight signs, all of which are non-illuminated, supporting the Boniface Heritage Trail throughout Crediton.

All the signs are identical in structure and materials but with sequential story-images laminated within. They measure 2m in height, 0.75m in width and 25mm in depth. They are to be laminated toughened glass with neoprene gaskets set into galvanised steel uprights extending from a cantilevered H-frame below ground.

Some signs are within the Conservation Area and others within the curtilage of listed buildings.

The eight sites are: St Boniface Roman Catholic Church, East Street junction with Charlotte Street, The Organ House in the Parish Church car park (this has been confirmed post submission), Newcombes Meadow Park (Belle Parade), Methodist Church (Union Road), Town Square (Market Street), Congregational Church (High Street), St Lawrence Green (High Street).

Two letters of objection had been received to-date by Mid Devon District Council.

Mid Devon District Council’s Planning Committee will meet at Phoenix Chamber, Phoenix House, Tiverton, from 2.15pm and the officer recommendation is one of approval.
