For Sale Boards & To Let Boards
Laws and Regulations for Displaying Signs
Property for sale boards and to let boards (estate agent signs) are covered under the local authority planning regulations. The planning rules enable certain specified classes of advertisement to be displayed without an application being made to the planning authority. Planning permission to display a to let board is not normally required where you follow a few rules.
If the sale or letting is for agricultural, industrial or commercial use or development the board should be no bigger than 2 square metres, but if two boards are joined together to form a single advertisement, a total surface area of 2.3 square metres is permitted.
For residential to let boards the board must not exceed 0.5 of a square metre, or a total area of 0.6 of a square metre for two joined boards.
You may only display ONE board on the premises(or two joined to form a "V" as mentioned above).
No advertisement board is allowed to extend outwards from the wall of a building by more than 1 metre.
The board must not be illuminated in any circumstances.
The board must not have the highest part of the advertisement at more than 4.6 metres above ground-level, or 3.6 metres in any Area of Special Control (except where advertising a sale or letting of premises situated in a building above these specified height limits).
The board must be removed not later than 14 days after completion of the sale or granting of the tenancy.
Outdoor signs must also;-
Be kept clean and tidy.
Be kept in a safe condition.
Have the permission of the owner of the site on which they are displayed (this includes the Highway Authority if the sign is to be placed on highway land).
Not obscure, or hinder the interpretation of, official road, rail, waterway or aircraft signs, or otherwise make hazardous the use of these types of transport.
Be removed carefully where so required by the planning authority.
