Technically a backlit sign req planning a sign does not

According to the gov site a non backlit sign with details of your company requires permission 

 

All vague in my opinion

Non illuminated bells are fine as they are small enough to be permitted under the town and planning act.

Illuminated bells have no permission like this they are all included no matter the size.

Even CCTV cameras and unlit signs (other than shopfront / advertising) need planning permission sometimes.

 

Looks like our local Tesco (an unusually large store for a central location, hence why it 1) hasn't closed/moved and b) is popular with town shoppers) finally got rumbled for planning.

 

All the fancy 'register your parking' touchscreen kiosks have been dark for 2 months now...

So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands

Yup, one of the first things to look for if you get stung by the parking scum is planning for signage and camera's.

Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

Well, that's after seeing if they are attempting to even use POFA of course!

When we got caught attending an event at a hotel it was that lot that don't even attempt to argue POFA and a polite one line 'feck off' letter

results in a surprisingly polite reply that they have cancelled the ticket 'as a gesture of goodwill' :)

 

Even funnier though, and I'm enbarassed I didn't ever spot this, was the reveal done by the local rag about parking on the seafront.

I always wondered why people who got ticketed - by council employees - got a blue ticket with 'Warning Notice' on.

It's because they have the right to charge for parking (or any other temporary use of land) under some hundred year old deal, but don't own it.

So they give out these totally powerless £10 fines (which I should also have spotted as being sus) in the hope it's such a reasonable amount

people will just pay up. And they do. When pushed they admitted they'd never taken anyone to court, because, of course, they can't ;)
