CORRESPONDENCE 1
FROM The Baldock Society
TO NHDC Planning Department
DATE SENT/RECEIVED 9 June 2008 by email

DETAIL

We discussed the above application at our recent committee meeting and I have been asked to make the following representations:

1. We support this change of use and see it a positive contribution to the street scene and will compliment the Enhancement Works.

2. We would ask that the "Signage" is very carefully considered along with the building front design. This is a key building in the High Street, central to the Enhancement Works area and as such should reflect the importance of it's formal listing and it's location in the heart of the conservation area. This will also cover the external lighting.

Thank you for considering our views.

Yours sincerely,

Chairman
Baldock Society
