What guidance is there on advertising?

The planning rules about adverts and signs are covered in the common projects section on the Planning Portal1.

If, after using our site guidance, you have further questions about a particular aspect of planning permission you should contact your local planning authority, usually your council.

You can find contact information for your local planning authority by using our search tool.
