Pylon and pole mounted signage - Potential impact

The height, size and levels of illumination of pylon and pole mounted signs can result in visual intrusion within the locality where they are situated. They can be extremely dominant over long distances and detract not only from the character and appearance of the area in which they are sited, but also that of the area from which they are viewed. In addition, where they are proposed close to residential properties, they can be detrimental to amenities enjoyed by residents.
