Signs for Your Premises

Key facts

  • If you display any outdoor signs and/or advertisements you may need to apply to the planning authority for consent to display the proposed sign.
  • The need for consent from the planning authority depends on whether signs are fully, partially or non-illuminated and where they are situated.
  • You will also need to ensure that any signs displayed are not misleading, as this could constitute a breach of unfair trading and misleading marketing legislation.
  • The highways department of your local authority can advise on white on brown tourism signs.
