Signs And Adverts

What is an advert? 

The term ‘advert’ covers a wide range of items, including: 

  • posters and notices 
  • fascia and projecting signs 
  • models and devices 
  • estate agent boards 
  • balloon advertising and flags 
  • traffic signs 
  • town and village noticeboards 

Do I need consent to display an advert? 

Subject to meeting strict criteria some adverts do not need consent from the Council. Those adverts that fall outside of the criteria will require ‘express consent’ and you will need to submit a formal application.  

Information the different types of adverts and whether they require ‘express consent’ is set out on the following link:
