"Professional, knowledgeable and helpful at every stage. A great company with perfect attention to detail".
5* Google Review, Kate Freeman
If you are considering new signage, advertising boards or even a new mural, it is likely that you should also consider the need for advertising consent or planning permission.
The rules can be complex, so obtaining professional advice is a great first step and if planning permission or an Advertising Consent is required, we can handle everything you need to remain fully compliant with the regulations and get the permission you need in place. Getting this right will also save you both time and costs in the long run!
As a starting point we always carefully research the advertisement regulations to assess whether advertisement consent is likely to be required for your proposal, under the definition of an ‘advertisement’ within section 336(1) of the TCPA.
Secondly, we check if the planned advert or sign falls within any of the schedules set out in the Advertisement Regulations (as some advertisements which do not require consent). The display of advertisements is controlled through a specific approval process and separate planning permission is not required in addition to advertisement consent.
Advertisements are controlled with reference to their effect on amenity and public safety only, so the regime is lighter touch than the system for obtaining planning permission for development. In some cases, it will be beneficial to make a pre-application submission forward to the local planning authority, and we can assist in putting this submission together.
Get in touch with your plans and we will be happy to provide you with a fee proposal for making an application for advertising consent on your behalf.
