ABSTRACT
The control of advertisements is embodied in the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisement) Regulations 1992 (SI 1992/666) as amended by Amendment Regulations 1999 (SI 1999/1810) made by the Secretary of State under s 220 of the Town and Country Planning Act (TCPA) 1990. The definition of an advertisement is extremely wide (s 336(1)):
The 1999 Amendment Regulations insert a new Reg 9A which provides for the call in by the Secretary of State of any express application for advertisement consent by an interested local planning authority. If the Secretary of State does not call in an application, then a new Reg 113A allows the local authority to determine the application themselves.
