The council controls outdoor advertising through the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) Regulations 2007 (www.opsi.gov.uk/SI/si2007/20071739.htm). Its consent is required to display all advertisements except for some limited categories.
The council can grant express consent for a period of five years and the regulations give deemed consent for certain categories of advertisement. Most illuminated advertisements need express consent.
The council can challenge any advertisement erected with deemed consent, requiring its removal if it is considered to affect the amenity of the area or public safety. The owner of the advertisement has a right of appeal to the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government.
Because of the complexity of the regulations, it is advisable to consult the council before displaying an advertisement.
You should use Advert Form (pdf 335 KB) to apply for advertisement consent. To use this file you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader. If you do not have this on your computer, please use our advice page.
All forms should be accompanied by four sets of plans showing the development, four location plans and the relevant fee.
