Planning notice installation
We install the planning notice the responsible authority has asked for, where and how its instructions say, and give you a photographic record of the installation.
What we do
- Install the notice(s) to the authority’s written instructions: number of signs, location on the land, height and visibility.
- Photograph the installation: a wide shot with the property, the whole notice, legible notice text, and its position relative to the street.
- Record the attendance date and time, the worker, and any site issues such as obstructed frontages or access problems.
- Send you an evidence report once the photos have been reviewed against the checklist. Any exception is stated in the report.
- Supply the dated evidence pack an applicant relies on when the authority asks for a statutory declaration of display. The declaration itself is made by the applicant.
Requirements differ between councils and between applications. We follow the instructions issued for your application rather than a standard template, so please send them with your request.

Common questions
Not answered here? All questions or ask us.
- How quickly can a planning notice be installed?
- Tell us the date the notice must be up by and we schedule the visit before it. Send the request as early as you can; a written quote comes first, and installation is booked once you accept it.
- Where on the site is the notice put?
- Where the authority’s instructions say — usually on the street frontage, visible and readable from the footpath. If the instructions leave it open, we choose the most visible lawful position and photograph where it sits relative to the street.
- Do I get proof the notice was installed?
- Yes. Every installation ends with an evidence report: a wide shot showing the property and the notice, the whole notice, its legible text and its street position, each with capture time and location checked, reviewed by a named person before release.
