The mural, planned for the side of Weymouth's former customs house, marks 200 years of the RNLI.
A mural honouring to the RNLI is set to adorn a harbourside building, despite critics branding it "garish".
The mural, which shows Weymouth’s Ernest and Mabel lifeboat, is to be painted on the side of the listed Custom House Cafe. The RNLI said the work would mark the organisation's 200th anniversary but council planners objected, describing it as "overbearing".The site for the mural is almost directly opposite the town’s lifeboat station - one of the busiest on the south coast.
Planning officers said the mural, as proposed, would cause "harm" and would not enhance the conservation area.A number of objections were received, including one which said: "The overall scheme is too large and garish. It’s presence would be overwhelming.Barry Stoneham, fundraising treasurer for the RNLI, told Dorset Council’s area planning committee that there had been widespread support for the mural.
