**Planning** window advert on residential property

5 replies

MissLemon18 · 09/12/2021 20:42

A neighbour has raised an issue with planning dept for some window art I've had done to market my online shop.

I work from home (all registered and above board) selling homewares on my website. No customers enter my property and I don't operate my house as a shop premises, I just advertise my website with window art.

No other signage internally or externally.

Can anyone who works in planning tell me if my window art is in breach of anything?

Aren't you worried people will knock on your door?
It looks like a shop,, and I assume you're not at end of cul de sac otherwise why have that in your window?
I would be interested in official Planning opinion of this

This provides some guidance on advertising. I am a planner but to be honest, rusty on adverts these days. My gut says you would need advert consent as the lettering is directly on the window, of a residential house, more than 0.3sqm in area and relates to a commercial activity rather than name of house. But I could very easily be wrong. I really haven’t dealt with adverts for a LONG time!

@BruceAndNosh Not worried about it.

@Hiyawotcha thanks for the information. Will have a read. I'm more than happy to amend to fit any criteria, had no idea there was an issue with this sort of thing.
