The Duke of Devonshire, located at 155 Terminus Road, Eastbourne, is set for a facelift following a planning application which has now been approved.
The application detailed the proposed replacement of the pub's existing signage with new illuminated displays.
The plans included two internally illuminated fascia signs, two internally illuminated projecting signs, one externally illuminated wall sign, and one non-illuminated wall sign.
The plans were submitted by Mitchells & Butlers, one of the UK's largest pub and restaurant operators.
The change will see two sets of halo-illuminated letters installed, replacing the current signs.
The pub is also set to receive two new projecting signs to replace existing ones, along with one sign-written wall patch and one sign-written set of lettering.
Duke of Devonshire is a noble title in the Peerage of England, held by a senior branch of the Cavendish family, one of the most prominent aristocratic houses in Britain since the 16th century.
The family has historically amassed considerable wealth and wielded significant political influence, with several members holding senior positions in government.
Peregrine Andrew Morny Cavendish, 12th Duke of Devonshire, succeeded to the dukedom following the death of his father, Andrew Robert Buxton Cavendish, the 11th Duke of Devonshire, in May 2004.
The 11th Duke owned more than 1,000 acres in Eastbourne and led some of the major developments in the town during the 20th century. The pub is named after him.
Many large areas of the town, including the seafront from Eastbourne Pier to Beachy Head, were under his control through restrictive covenants governing their use.
Land he owned included The Crumbles, a large area of brookland on Willingdon Levels, the Saffrons sports ground, Compton Place and its surroundings and the Royal Golf Course.
Approving the plans, Eastbourne Borough Council planning officers wrote: "The design and facing materials of the proposed signage are considered to be sympathetic to the host property and the character of the area in general.
"It is considered that the proposed development accords with the development plan and is therefore acceptable."
