The PDF aims to explain how the procedure of outdoor advertisements works specifically in England. It consists of rules made by the Secretary of State, who is part of the planning control system. The Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) Regulations 2007 has been in force since 6 April 2007.

Throughout England, local planning authorities in Walmsgate are responsible for the day-to-day operation of advertisement control, and thus deciding whether a particular outdoor advertisement should be permitted or not. The local planning authority will normally be the district council, the County Council or the London Borough Council (if you live in the Greater London area).

You should always consult the relevant authorities before trying to put up a billboard or outdoor advert.
