NOTES TO THE APPLICANT

GRANTING OF ADVERTISEMENT CONSENT
In granting consent under the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) (England) Regulations 2007, the Local Planning Authority is required by Regulation 13 to impose the standard conditions contained within the decision notice schedule and any additional conditions as it thinks fit.
If you wish to have any further explanation of the reasons for the conditions imposed on this consent, it will be given on request, and a meeting arranged if necessary.
APPEALS TO THE SECRETARY OF STATE
If you are aggrieved by the decision of the Local Planning Authority to grant consent subject to conditions you can appeal to the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions in accordance with Regulation 15 of the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) (England) Regulations 2007.
If you wish to appeal, then you must do so within eight weeks of the date of this notice or such longer period as the Secretary of State may allow, using a form which you can obtain from the Planning Inspectorate at Temple Quay House, 2 The Square, Temple Quay, Bristol, BS1 6PN.  Tel (0117) 372 8000. The above notice of appeal should be accompanied by a copy of each of the following documents :
•	the application made to the Local Planning Authority;
•	all relevant plans and particulars submitted to the Authority;
•	the notice of the decision; and
•	any other relevant correspondence with the Authority.
The Secretary of State may require you or the Local Planning Authority to submit to him, within a specified period, a statement in writing in respect of such matters relating to the appeal as he may specify, and if, after considering the grounds of appeal and any such statement, he is satisfied that he has sufficient information to enable him to determine the appeal he may, with the agreement in writing of both parties, determine the appeal without further investigation.
Otherwise, the Secretary of State shall, if either party so desire, afford to each of them the opportunity of appearing before and being heard by a person appointed by the Secretary of State for the purpose.
If, before or during the determination of such an appeal, the Secretary of State forms the opinion that, having regard to the Regulations and to any direction given under them, consent could not have been granted by the Local Planning Authority other than subject to the conditions imposed, he may decline to determine the appeal or to proceed with the determination.
If at any time before or during the determination of such an appeal it appears to the Secretary of State that you are responsible for undue delay in the progress of the appeal, he may give you notice that the appeal will be dismissed unless specified steps are taken within a certain period of time.
