DM 15 Advertisements and Hoardings
Proposals for advertising hoardings and other advertisements must demonstrate that their design and siting:
- does no demonstrable harm to the character of the surrounding townscape; and
- has regard to the interests of amenity and public safety (including for disabled people) and highway safety.
When determining proposals for new advertising displays we will consider whether they would have an adverse effect upon:
- a Conservation Area and its wider setting;
- Listed Buildings or Buildings of Townscape Merit;
- predominantly residential areas.
Where necessary we will use our powers to remove any advertisement or hoarding erected without permission and where appropriate and practical, to challenge existing hoardings and advertisements that cause substantial injury to visual amenity and public safety, including for disabled people.
