Location and Description
12/00882 (Full)
The Chalet, Ravensdale Road, Ascot, SL5 9HJ
Proposed detached dwelling with integral double garage following demolition of existing dwelling

Consent to display 2 non illuminated fence/gate mounted notification signs
Recommendation: Objections. The committee considered the proposed signs to be too large and therefore out of keeping with the street scene. They asked that further information be given before the Borough made a determination, such as the colour of the sign and it’s wording, and that if the Borough were minded to approve, a condition be imposed that limited the duration of the display of the signs, to a couple of days before the event, and that the signs be taken down the day after the event.
