New signs could be installed at a Richmond commercial building if plans are signed off by council planners.

Inforcer has applied for permission to install the signs at 18-24 Eton House.

An application submitted to Richmond Council said: "The proposal comprises the installation of two ceiling-hung illuminated signs, positioned internally at first floor level and visible through the existing curtain wall glazing from street level."

Two objections have already been submitted to the scheme.

However, the application argued: "The scale and proportions are modest relative to the glazed frontage.

"Illumination is controlled, subtle and visually contained behind glazing.

"There is no interruption to historic building lines, rhythm or massing."

It continued: "The previous approval demonstrates that illuminated signage at this address has already been accepted in heritage terms.

"The current proposal represents a significantly reduced level of intervention and visual impact when compared to the approved external totem sign."
