Large Format Banner Advertising - Supplementary Planning Document
Large format banner advertising relates to adverts on buildings under construction or being redeveloped.
The visual impact of poorly maintained scaffolding and scaffolding mesh around development sites can have a negative affect on the environment. Advertising on scaffolding can enliven the facade of a building whilst work is taking place. Planning applications for banner advertisements can only be considered on the grounds of public safety and amenity as advised in the government's Planning Policy Guidance on Outdoor Advertisements Control (PPG19).
The purpose of the SPD is to address the issue of potential harm to visual amenity. It provides guidance on the criteria against which planning applications for the banner advertisements will be assessed. It supports and expands on the Birmingham Plan 2005 (the Unitary Development Plan).
