Advertisement Control

The main purpose of the advertisement control system is to help those involved in outdoor advertising to contribute positively to the appearance of an attractive environment in cities, towns and the countryside.

Planning Policy Guidance 19 (PPG19), published by the Department for Communities and Local Government covers pre-application discussions, deemed consent, exemptions from detailed control and temporary as well as permanent advertisements. The role of guidance on design is explained as are criteria for dealing with advertisement applications.
