Re: Re: South Great George’s Street

The heat lamps are going in at Fade Street Social…and the tables and chairs are sure to follow in time for Christmas. And sure why not.

Interesting condition on the permission for signage and awnings on the building:

4) The projecting awning shall remain free of any advertisements (including the name of the premises) and the colour of the awning shall be similar and complimentary to the existing awnings on Fade Street. Reason: In the interests of visual and environmental amenity.

Roundly ignored of course. The awning are bright cyan and have the premises name on them.

There is little logic applied to planning decisions concerning shopfronts these days. And as ever those City Council Shopfront Guidelines (2003 and really only relevant to O’Connell Street) remain as elusive as ever.
