Advertisement Control

If you are intending to display an advertisement of any kind you may need to apply for advertisement consent under the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) (England) Regulations 2007.

The advertisement control system covers a very wide range of advertisements and signs, including:

• posters and notices
• placards and board
• fascia signs and projecting signs
• pole signs and canopy signs
• advance signs and directional signs
• estate agent's boards
• captive balloon advertisements (not balloons in flight)
• flag advertisements
• traffic signs
• town and village name signs

These regulations can be complicated so you should check with a member of the Planning Control Unit before displaying any advertisement.
