Planning Permission Site Notice

    Hi there,

    I was wondering what laws (if any?) deal with this?

    If I had a site notice up on my wall outside my house, had applied for planning permission on the site & was refused, is there an onus on me to remove the site notice?

    According to the county council in my area, the site notice should be removed as soon as I receive the notice of my planning permission being rejected.

    In the event of me not removing it, lets say a month after my planning application was refused, would anyone be able to make me take it down, i.e. the enforcement branch of the county council planning dept for instance, or even the local litter warden?

    Thanks for any replies. :)

    Site Notices are dealt with in the Planning and Development Regulations 2006. Article 20:
    In addition to the requirements of article 17(1)(b), a site notice shall be maintained in position on the land or structure concerned for a period of 5 weeks from the date of receipt of the planning application by the planning authority, shall be renewed or replaced if it is removed or becomes defaced or illegible within that period and shall be removed by the applicant following the notification of the planning authority decision under article 31.

    It would be a matter for the Local Authority to enforce this.

    Interestingly (ok maybe not that interesting) the 2001 regulations did not oblige you to remove the notice, simply to "maintain" it for the 5 weeks. Presumably after 5 week you could have then left it to slowly deteriorate and accumulate poo into perpetuity. I'm sure there's an angry neighbour somewhere that can explain the reason for this change with horrific poo-notice tales.

    OK cheers Maximus for the reply, you have confirmed what i thought i.e. there seems to be no mechanism to make people take their defunct site notices down. :confused:

    I imagine the problem is that some sites seem to have colelctions of notices and finding new ones is problematic.

    The bit in bold leaves you with no choice but to take it down.
