Regulation 7 Direction - controlling the display of estate agents' boards

Residential for sale and to let boards are to be brought under planning control within most of the central conservation areas of Brighton & Hove, replacing previous controls which were restricted to a small number of the city’s historic squares.

The Secretary of State has confirmed that he agrees with the council and local residents that these areas contain good historic architecture, including some of the highest quality, and that such boards do cause significant problems.

The new controls (Regulation 7 Direction) will apply to all residential properties in the following conservation areas:

The Cliftonville Conservation Area, Denmark Villas Conservation Area, Willett Estate Conservation Area, The Drive Conservation Area, The Avenues Conservation Area, Brunswick Town Conservation Area, Montpelier and Clifton Hill Conservation Area, West Hill Conservation Area, North Laine Conservation Area, East Cliff Conservation Area, College Conservation Area and Kemp Town Conservation Area.

In the Regency Square Conservation Area, only Regency Square, Bedford Square and Norfolk Square are included, and in the Valley Gardens Conservation Area, the direction only applies to the area from St Peter’s Place northwards.

The direction is made under the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) (England) Regulations 2007. The effect of the direction is that no residential sale or letting boards may be displayed on the street frontages of the above properties without express consent.

The direction came into force on 20 September 2010.
