Do you need permission for a sign in Gateshead?
Advertisement consent in England comes from the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) (England) Regulations 2007. A sign is either excluded from control, has deemed consent, or needs express consent from the council's planning department. For a plain, unlit sign on your own premises, deemed consent usually applies when characters are 0.75 m tall or less (0.3 m in an area of special control) and the top edge is below the first-floor windows. Conservation areas need more care, and a listed building usually needs listed building consent as well; working without it can be a criminal offence. We confirm the route before you commit, and can prepare the drawings for an application or submit it for you.

Signs in Gateshead: questions
Will someone visit my premises in Gateshead before quoting?
If the job needs it, yes. For signs fixed to a building, anything illuminated or work at height, we arrange a survey to measure, check the wall and plan access. For window graphics, lettering and many vehicle jobs, clear photos with measurements are often enough, and we only visit if something needs a closer look.
Will the location in Gateshead affect the cost of fascia signs?
Location is one factor among several, alongside size, material, access equipment and design time. Our guide range is £495–£1,650 per sign + VAT; any travel, parking or access costs for your site in Gateshead are included in the written quote we confirm after a survey or artwork check, so you can see them before you commit.
Can you work to an opening date in Gateshead?
Tell us the date when you enquire and we will say plainly whether it looks realistic. Timescales typically depend on how soon the proof is approved, how long production takes and whether consent is needed, which can take several weeks on its own. We plan around your date where we can, but we do not promise one we cannot control.
