BE26 WITHIN TOWN CENTRES THE DESIGN, LAYOUT AND LANDSCAPING OF NEW BUILDINGS WILL BE EXPECTED TO REFLECT THE ROLE, OVERALL SCALE AND CHARACTER OF THE TOWN CENTRES AS A FOCUS OF SHOPPING AND EMPLOYMENT ACTIVITY. Advertisements and Shopfronts 5.33 The information conveyed by shopfronts, signs and advertisements is important to commercial interests. However, the design, materials and appearance of shopfronts and fascias are a major element in establishing the streetscape of shopping areas. Badly designed or obtrusive shopfronts can damage the appearance and character of individual buildings and erode the character of whole areas. Conservation Areas are particularly sensitive. A problem can sometimes be caused by the use of standard "house-style" designs by businesses and in these circumstances the Local Planning Authority will encourage a flexible approach to advertisement and shopfront provision. BE27 EXPRESS CONSENT FOR ADVERTISEMENTS WILL ONLY BE GRANTED IF THEY ARE OF SUCH A SIZE AND SO DESIGNED AND LOCATED THAT THEY: (i) (ii) (iii) COMPLEMENT THE SCALE, FORM AND ARCHITECTURAL COMPOSITION OF INDIVIDUAL BUILDINGS; DO NOT MATERIALLY HARM THE VISUAL AMENITY IN THE AREA; AND DO NOT UNDULY COMPROMISE PUBLIC SAFETY. BE28 NEW SHOPFRONTS WILL ONLY BE PERMITTED WHERE THEIR DESIGN AND MATERIALS HARMONISE WITH THE ARCHITECTURAL COMPOSITION OF INDIVIDUAL BUILDINGS OR IMPROVE THE CHARACTER OF THE AREA. 5.34 The Local Planning Authority considers that shop signs, including projecting signs, should not contribute to an undue proliferation of advertising material and should generally be located at or immediately below fascia level. High level signs will not be permitted unless they make a positive contribution to the appearance of the building on which they are to be displayed and the character of the area. Individual letters, hand printed fascias or traditional hanging signs will be preferred within Conservation Areas, and on Buildings of Architectural and Historic Interest. Design guidance is available as Supplementary Planning Guidance. BE29 THE LOCAL PLANNING AUTHORITY WILL SEEK TO LIMIT THE NUMBER AND SIZE OF ADVERTISEMENT DISPLAYS ON BUSINESS PREMISES IN THE INTERESTS OF AMENITY AND PUBLIC SAFETY. 5.35 The Council has identified types of development other than commercial, industrial or business (currently given deemed consent under the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) (Amendments) Regulations 1994) which may be acceptable for advertising displays subject to various criteria being met. The Local Planning Authority will apply Policy BE30 for such proposals. BE30 THE LOCAL PLANNING AUTHORITY WILL NORMALLY GRANT CONSENT FOR ADVERTISEMENT HOARDINGS ENCLOSING SITES FOR RESIDENTIAL, EDUCATION, COMMUNITY, YOUTH AND LEISURE DEVELOPMENT DURING THE CONSTRUCTION PERIOD (UP TO A MAXIMUM OF THREE YEARS) PROVIDED THAT: (i) THEY DO NOT DETRACT FROM THE RESIDENTIAL AND VISUAL AMENITIES OF THE SURROUNDING AREA; London Borough of Hillingdon Unitary Development Plan
(ii) (iii) THEY DO NOT INTRODUCE AN INAPPROPRIATE COMMERCIAL PRESENCE; AND THEY ARE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE STANDARD CONDITIONS DETAILED IN THE TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING (CONTROL OF ADVERTISEMENTS) (AMENDMENT) REGULATIONS 1994. Canals 5.36 The Grand Union Canal runs for about 20 kms through the Borough and is an important structural feature linking the built-up area with the open land and countryside. The Council recognises the value of the Canal as a 'Green Chain' (see para 3.22) providing a recreational resource as well as an important wildlife corridor, and has carried out a study (The Canal Way - A Review, 1990) which identifies environmental improvements and recreational opportunities along its length. BE31 THE COUNCIL WILL SEEK TO ACTIVELY PROMOTE AND ENCOURAGE THE PROVISION OF FACILITIES FOR THE RECREATIONAL USE OF THE CANAL, HAVING REGARD TO ITS IMPORTANCE AS A WILDLIFE CORRIDOR. 5.37 Since the historical decline in the use of the canal for commercial freight (see paras 14.38 - 14.41), most canalside development has been orientated away from the waterway, but it has considerable potential for enhancement as a townscape feature. If this potential is to be realised, the canal has to be carefully integrated with its adjacent land uses. This can be achieved through the design of individual buildings, the creation of more access points to the canalside to link it with the open land network, the screening of the least attractive canalside sites and the opening up of views both to and from the canal. BE32 WHEN CONSIDERING PROPOSALS FOR DEVELOPMENT ADJACENT TO OR HAVING A VISUAL EFFECT ON THE GRAND UNION CANAL, THE LOCAL PLANNING AUTHORITY WILL SEEK TO ENSURE THAT EVERY OPPORTUNITY IS TAKEN TO: (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) (v) (vi) (vii) SECURE AND WHERE POSSIBLE ENHANCE THE ROLE OF THE CANAL AND ITS IMMEDIATE SURROUNDS AS A WILDLIFE CORRIDOR; SECURE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPROVEMENTS APPROPRIATE TO WATERSIDE AREAS; ENSURE THAT BUILDINGS ARE OF A DESIGN WHICH COMPLEMENTS THE VISUAL QUALITIES OF THE CANAL IN TERMS OF SCALE, BULK, LAYOUT AND MATERIALS; CONSERVE BUILDINGS OR FEATURES ASSOCIATED WITH THE WORKING LIFE OF THE CANAL; CREATE NEW PUBLIC ACCESS TO THE WATERSIDE AND TOWPATH LINKED TO THE FOOTPATH NETWORK IN THE SURROUNDING AREA; ENHANCE OR CREATE VIEWS THROUGH AND FROM THE DEVELOPMENT, FROM AND TOWARDS THE WATERCOURSE; AND RETAIN EXISTING LEISURE MOORINGS UNLESS ALTERNATIVE PROVISION IS MADE IN SUITABLE LOCATIONS.
