Rutland County Council conservation officer objects to the signs that
have appeared on one of Oakham's latest places to eat and drink.
His email is shown below, his response to retrospective planning
application.
I often wonder why Rutland County Council wast money employing
a token conservation officer.
Since I moved to Oakham I have noticed they don't take much notice
of what he say and the council is very selective when it comes to
conservation here in Oakham and the pointless town council let
them get away with anything.
Some Oakham Town Councillor at their meeting this evening also
objected to the signs and lights. Fortunately the majority did not.
Cllr Charles Haworth who possible provides the lard for the chips
turned to those who objected and said you should be grateful this
place has opened, we could have row of empty shops.
I took another look tonight the light are not bright. Next door the
new pub is floodlit and covering white fairground light and the
conservation officer does not object? 106 contribution?
Looking at the state of the whole of Oakham town centre, I feel
the conservation officer is just trying to justify his employment.
Before Briggs starts on her next round of staff cuts.
He seems to have missed major alterations to a Mill Street property.

Illuminated fascia signs
I object to the proposed number of illuminated signs.
The building is attractive and makes a positive contribution to the character of Oakham Conservation Area. The proposed signs represent clutter and would have a detrimental impact on the appearance of the building and visual amenity and would thereby fail to preserve or enhance the conservation area.
