Summary

This guide aims to explain to those wanting to display an outdoor advertisement how the system of advertisement control works in England.

The booklet is arranged in separate sections and there are numerous illustrations which may show you how the system affects the type of advertisement you want to display.

This booklet is only a guide. It does not include every condition or limitation for every Class of those Advertisements which are normally permitted.  Full details are in the 2007 Regulations and Circular 03/07: Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) (England) Regulations 2007.  These can be found using the links on the right of this page.

This replaces the earlier version published in May 2002 and reprinted in December 2006.
