Consent for illuminated signs in Porthcawl
Illuminated fascia and projecting signs in Wales usually need express consent from the council under the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) Regulations 1992, as amended. Because the Welsh rules differ in detail from England's, we check with the planning authority what applies to your building, especially in a conservation area or on a listed building, where listed building consent may also be needed. Councils commonly look at brightness against the ILP's PLG05 guidance and expect static lighting. The final connection to the mains is made by an electrician to BS 7671, and you receive the certificate. We prepare the drawings and photos, or submit the application for you.
