Advertising

You may need to apply for advertisement consent to display an advertisement bigger than 0.3 square metres on the front of, or outside your property. This includes the display of your house name, number or a warning sign such as "Beware of the Dog". Temporary notices up to 0.6 square metres relating to local events may be displayed for a short period. Different rules apply for estate agents' boards, but in general, these should not be bigger than 0.5 square metres on each side. You can get advice from the planning department of your council - ask for a copy of the Department's free booklet 'Outdoor Advertisements and Signs'.
