Permission for more 'Welcome to Newport Pagnell' signs granted despite objection

    Five more sites for new Welcome to Newport Pagnell signs to celebrate the heritage of the area have been given the go-ahead.

    There was only one objection to the plans, from residents who wanted one positioned away from their house, but Milton Keynes Council officers decided to used powers delegated to them to approve the proposals.

    Council planning officer Charlotte Ashby said in her report that the sign would not be visible and it was not considered to result in a “harmful impact to residential amenity”.

    The seven gateway signs will be at Wolverton Road, Little Linford Road, North Crawley Road, Renny Park Road, London Road, Marsh End Road, and Northampton Road.

    Planners had previously granted the go-ahead to two of the signs, at the junction of Little Linford Road, and Pennycress Way, and a gateway sign in Hill View, Wolverton Road. The last five

    Councillors at Newport Pagnell Town Council will choose the image for each panel to represent the town’s heritage and identity.
