'LIKE FOR LIKE' SIGNS APPROVED FOR HIBALDSTOW PUB

A pub serving meals in the Brigg area can display new signs, North Lincolnshire Council has decided. 
Planners have granted advertisement consent for the Wheatsheaf, on Station Road, Hibaldstow.
Approval was sought to display two refurbished board signs, one refurbished hanging sign, three picture signs and four painted signs at the well-known building in the centre of the village.
The proposed signage makes reference to food and cask ales being available, plus "live sports" (TV) and a real fire. The main sign's lettering reads: The Wheatsheaf - Pub & Dining.
Hibaldstow Parish Council raised no objections to this application.
Recommending that consent should be given, a North Lincolnshire Council officer's report concluded: "It is reasonable to expect that a business of this nature would require adverts  to announce its presence in the area, and the level of signage proposed is considered to be commensurate with the size and scale of the existing use and size of the building, and does not detract from the character or appearance of the area. 
"The signs are mainly like for like replacements, and do not create clutter or loss of amenity to the area."
