Advertisement Control and Amenity Protection
Councils should develop local policies for controlling outdoor advertisements tailored to local circumstances, with particular attention to protecting listed buildings, conservation areas, and townscape character while ensuring proposals respect amenity and do not prejudice public safety.
Where appropriate councils should bring forward appropriate policies within local development plans (LDPs) for the control of outdoor advertisements, tailored to local circumstances. Local policies may also be brought forward for the control of advertisements which affect listed buildings, conservation areas and areas of townscape character, and must be compatible with other policies set out within the SPPS.
