PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Outdoor Advertising (8 October 2024)

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, with reference to her Department's guidance entitled Outdoor advertisements and signs: a guide for advertisers, published on 18 June 2007, what guidance her Department issues on advertisements displayed inside a courtyard but visible from a public highway; and whether such advertisements would be categorised as an outdoor advertisement.

Asked by:
David Simmonds (Conservative)

The department has not issued any further guidance on advertisements displayed inside a courtyard but visible from a public highway beyond that contained in the Outdoor advertisements and signs: a guide for advertisers. General guidance on the advertisement control regime can be found at Advertisements - GOV.UK.

The control of advertisements is governed by the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) (England) Regulations 2007. Class 6 of Schedule 3 to the Regulations grants deemed consent subject to certain conditions and limitations for advertisements on the forecourt of business premises. It is for local planning authorities to decide whether a particular advertisement requires consent or not having regard to the Regulations.
