Respondent: Canal & River Trust

Policy CS7 provides no specific guidance in relation to signage provided as part of canalside development. The policy does not require such signage to be provided and simply allows for the provision of appropriate signage. It does not appear to differ from the position that would apply to any new development, whether near a canal or not. The policy sets out no particular aims or aspirations that the Council has in relation to the provision of signage in canalside locations.

Policy CS7 should be strengthened to be proactive in guiding the approach to providing signage.
