Application Form for Consent to Display Advertisements

Please read the notes below before completing any part of this form.

General  Under the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) Regulations many outdoor advertisements require express consent before they can be lawfully displayed.  Applicants should refer to the regulations for details or call at the local planning office.

Period of Consent  Normally the maximum period for which consent may be granted is 5 years.  The Council may not grant consent for a longer period without special approval from the Secretary of State.  If consent is required for a specific period of less than 5 years this should be stated in the form.

Drawings Required  The drawing can be in black and white on paper.  It should show the size of the advertisement and its position on the land or the building in question.  In the case of a sign it should also give the materials to be used, fixings, colours, height above the ground and, where it would project from a building the amount of the projection.  The drawing should include the site location plan which should have sufficient detail to enable the site to be identified.

Owner's Consent  It is a condition of every consent granted by or under the regulations that before the advertisement to which the consent relates is displayed, the permission of the owner of the land or other person entitled to grant permission shall be obtained.

Other Consents  Consent under the Town and County Planning (Control of Advertisements) Regulations does not relieve the applicant from obtaining any other consents which may be necessary, e.g. under the Petroleum Acts, etc.
