P43 Outdoor advertisments and signage
Advertisement Consent for outdoor advertisements and signage must:
- Avoid unacceptable harm to public amenity. Advertisements and signage should be designed so that their size, scale, type and illumination are unobtrusive, taking into account site context and local character; and
- Avoid harm to the significance of streetscape and heritage assets or their settings; and
- Not compromise safety and security or obscure highway sightlines and allow free movement along the public highway by all users, including people with disabilities, especially the visually impaired; and
- Not adversely impact on trees on or in close proximity to the proposed site, especially those protected by Tree Protection Orders (TPOs) or within conservation areas.
