In many instances, planning permission is required, particularly if your signage is going to be illuminated, mounted outside the building, or exceeds 0.3m² in size. Local councils may have different regulations, but any externally visible signage that could impact the public space needs approval. Even internal signage might require permission if it’s within a certain distance of a window and visible from outside. If your business operates in a listed building, conservation area, or on a lease, you may also need additional permissions from the property owner or local authorities. Navigating this process can seem complex, but we’re always happy to help clarify what’s needed for your circumstances.
