Little Dinosaurs

The following comments were made by the Committee:

-           There were concerns over the suggested use of artificial turf, as it may spoil the appearance of the area

-           There was an advertisement board on the south west elevation of the building – it was unknown if this was authorised.  Mr Jenkins (operator) explained that the sign was useful to people entering from Muswell Hill as it helped to show where the building was.

-           Other issues were raised at the site visit were the bouncy castle and the sound of the compressor running. 

Advertising consent application, Alexandra Palace

Members made the following comments:

-           Whilst the idea of providing information at the Palace was a good one, careful thought needed to be given to the fascias on the South Terrace – the design should be discreet and not detrimental to the look of the Palace.

-           It would be useful to have some signage at the theatre, perhaps at location 6.  Signs to the theatre inside the ice rink would also be useful.

-           There would be an improvement to the existing signage at the Palm Court entrance, however location 3 (South Terrace) needed to be treated with sensitivity.

-           It was important that events were advertised – but outside events should pay for their own advertising.

-           The advertisement boards were a good opportunity to provide information to people who were travelling past the Palace by bus.

RESOLVED

i)          To endorse the content of the proposals by the owner of Little Dinosaurs, taking into account the comments made by the Statutory Advisory Committee and the Consultative Committee.

ii)         To endorse the advertising consent application to the Alexandra Palace and Park Board, taking into account the comments made by the Statutory Advisory Committee and the Consultative Committee.

iii)       To endorse, in principle, the measures required to protect the areas adjacent to the north façade
