ENV36 - ADVERTISEMENT CONTROL

Proposals for the display of advertisements will be strictly controlled. Applications will be determined taking into account the interests of public safety and amenity.

Externally illuminated signage may be permitted on hand-painted shop fascias or shop fascias employing individually applied letters of timber or metal where light fittings are discreetly sited. Externally illuminated signs and fascias may be acceptable on other premises where the functional need has clearly been demonstrated. This may include hotels, public houses and restaurants, but not as of right.

Internally illuminated advertisements will not normally be permitted.

Advertisements within Conservation Areas will be required to preserve or enhance the character of the locality.

Outside built-up areas, within the Area of Special Control of Advertisements, advertisements will be required to respect the rural character of the area.
