Abstract

Swansea Council is seeking to manage the proliferation of ‘To Let’ signs in areas of the Uplands Ward which currently detract from the visual amenity of the area.

In order to inform the Council’s application to Welsh Government, we anticipate the following to be undertaken, post appointment: • Survey of the area to gather evidence of the number of ‘To Let’ signs being displayed. Such evidence will need to include photographic evidence • Engagement with stakeholders to gather views on the proposal • Preparation of report of findings from the evidence gathering exercise.
