Planning permission?

Will you be installing new signage in 2024? Do you know if your sign, illuminated sign or screen display needs planning permission?

The Advertisement Control System covers a wide range of advertisements and signs including:

• posters and notices
• placards and boards
• fascia and projecting signs
• pole & canopy signs
• models and devices
• advance signs
• directional signs & flag advertisements
• large screen displays

The rules and regulations around signage can be complicated. Whether planning permission is required will depend on several factors such as the type of signage, its location, size, and if it’s illuminated.

Here at PPL, as part of our Signage and Screen Display services, we provide guidance on planning permission and support our clients with planning submissions. We can create technical drawings and specifications to illustrate proposed signage or screen installations.

For more information: about the rules and regulations for advertisements and signage see:

• A Guide to The Planning System in Scotland (Scotland)
• Planning Permission: adverts & signs (Wales)
