Will I need planning permission for my signs?

There are 3 groups of Outdoor Advertisements (signs):
• Excluded – where the rules delibererately exclude this type of sign from the planning authority’s control
• Deemed Consent – planning authority’s consent is not needed, provided your advertisement is within the rules.
• Express consent – signs where the ‘express consent of the planning authority is required.

For details on the types of signs within each category refer to the ‘Outdoor advertisements and signs: a guide for advertisers’ on www.planningportal.gov.uk.
