Decision - Residential Letting Boards

RESOLVED:

i)          That the Committee notes the Secretary of State’s previous conclusion that the criteria for a Regulation 7 Direction is not met by Hove Station, Old Hove or Old Town Conservation Areas or sections of Regency Square and Valley Gardens Conservation Areas and specifically excluded these areas from the Regulation 7 Direction granted in 2010 (Appendix 2).

ii)        That the Committee agrees a pilot scheme in the Lewes Road Area for the voluntary management of residential sales and letting boards which would include the preparation of guidance outlined in para. 3.8 and existing Housing Partnership  work . The outcomes of the scheme will be brought back to this committee for review after an operating period of one year and considered for extension to a wider area.

iii)       That the Committee agree to review the decision not to pursue an expansion of the Regulation 7 Direction if there is a substantive change to the law, or the character of the area in question.
