Signage Policy

null

This policy relates solely to sign/ objects/advertisements placed on Public Roads, footpaths or open spaces and which may or may not be subject to licence under section 254 of the Planning and Development Act 2000. All signage on private property will be subject to the normal planning process and, if not exempted development, must not be erected prior to the granting of planning permission. 

Louth County Council has a good record in preventing and controlling the spread of indiscriminate signage. This is evident when one travels through other parts of the country where this type of signage is often rampant and appears to be subject to little control or enforcement.
