Advertising in Predominantly Residential Areas with Offices
Advertising for offices in predominantly residential areas must remain unobtrusive to protect residential amenity. A more flexible approach may be considered where surroundings have become mainly commercial through ongoing change.
In predominantly residential areas, where offices occupy part or all of a former residential property, it is essential that advertising remains unobtrusive in order that the residential amenity of the area is not prejudiced. Even in situations where offices occupy a row of former residential properties it will generally still be important to retain the overall residential appearance of the area. A more flexible approach will however be considered in those areas where, through ongoing change, surroundings have become mainly commercial.
