Advertising boards permit

Advertising boards have the potential to be an obstruction when they are placed inappropriately.

This is especially true for those with mobility difficulties and the blind and partially sighted. In response to this problem the council has a permit for advertising boards on the highway.

Only one advertising board per business will be allowed. The maximum size of a board allowed is 1200mm high x 800mm wide x 800mm deep.

The advertising boards permit charge is £29 per year.
