Planning
You may need to apply for advertisement consent to display an advertisement bigger than 0.3 sq metres on the front or outside your property.
So you are unlikely to need consent for a house or building name. Temporary notices upto 0.6m sq relating to local events such as street parties or concerts, may also be displayed for a short period.
There are different rules for estate agents boards but in general these should be no larger than 0.5 sqm.
The planning regime for larger professional adverts, signs for businesses, and so on is far more complex.
All outdoor advisements must comply with five standard conditions:
1.To be kept clean and tidy
2. To be kept in a safe condition
3. To have the permission of the owner of the site on which they are displayed (including highways authority etc)
4. Not to obscure, or hinder the interpretation of official road, rail, waterways or aircraft signs or otherwise make the use of these types of transport hazardous
5. To be removed carefully where so required by the planning authority
