Multiple A frame advertisements situated along the A422 between Wroxton and Ironstone Lane without advertisement consent. Advertisements also obstruct visibility splays causing potential danger to road users. Business owner has been contacted by CDC Planning Enforcement team to remove unauthorised advertisements to which business owner advised they would not do.

    Following your update that the signs had been removed. Please see photos attached showing the signs still in situ.

    There are approximate 5 signs in total. Two on the junction of the A422 and Ironstone Lane then approximate 3 more on the verges coming away from the site both in the direction leading towards Wroxton and then out towards the Balscote junction.

    We feel that 5 large A frame signs in such close proximity is excessive. Other businesses are also now displaying their own adverts such as The Wroxton. The A frame signs remaining on the highway are resulting in other businesses feeling that they can also advertise in this manner.
