Agenda item

The application was for advertisement consent to fly the Progressive PRIDE flag on an existing flagpole located on the grassed area in front of Surrey Heath House adjacent to Knoll Road.  The application would ordinarily have been dealt with under delegated powers but had been reported to Committee as the Council was the applicant.

Under the Advertisement Regulations 2007 (As amended) deemed consent was given to fly a specified range of flags including the Union flag, the flags of other countries, St George’s Flag, the Armed Forces Day flag and the original PRIDE flag.  The Progressive PRIDE flag did not currently have deemed consent under the Advertising Regulations 2007 (As amended) and thus planning permission was required.

The officer’s recommendation to approve the application, subject to the conditions set out in the report, was proposed by Councillor Richard Wilson, seconded by Councillor Liz Noble, put to the vote and carried unanimously.

RESOLVED that application number 23/0727/ADV be approved subject to the conditions set out in the report.
