They have placed a swing sign that stands on the footpath outside my house to advertise their business. My house is currently up for sale and the sign outside my house may cause potential buyers to not look at my house due to this advertising board outside my house. I do not wish to communicate with the owner and would like to know if this is legal to place a sign outside a private dwelling on the footpath some distance from the place of business. In the application plans no mention was made of advertising signs and placements and also it was stated that no inconvenience would be caused to neighbours. Well it could be losing me viewings on my house. Even if my house was not up for sale this would still be a matter of concern. Please advise.

I do not want to touch a sign that does not belong to me and is not my property so moving it is not an issue. The business is down a side road hence the sign being placed outside my house which is on the main road by the inconsiderate owner. Of course this would affect passing people who may consider viewing my house but be put off by the sign directly outside. The hair salon did get planning permission for change of use. I do not want to get into a verbal conversation with owner.

Contact Planning at your local town hall, and ask them.

I stay in a private living house, I worked for it, and that i very own it. I even have lived on a council property as quickly as and there are marked alterations besides solid or undesirable neighbours. interior the council living house I chained, gated and padlocked doorways and living house windows, through fact some little sh!t (neighbour) could attempt to thieve what little I had if i did not. the element i'm engaged on now could be popping my "cul-de-sac" right into a gated community. secure, shelter, patrolled by ability of canines handlers, and an illustration announcing "no chavs right here". worth each and every penny of the 500k.

I cannot see that having a sign outside your house is putting buyers off, after all they must be able to see the shop itself.just move the sign a little bit if you do not want to communicate with the owner of the shop,{ although I do not understand why you would not just go to them & ask politely if it could be moved a little }

It is not legal to obstruct the footpath, nor is it legal to run a business from residential premises unless the council has issued a "change of use" permission.

Write to the owner expressing your concerns and give them reasonable time to reply. If no joy, contact the planning dept at your local council and explain the situation to them, they will advise as to what you can do.

by the time it took you to send out this message you could have gone outside and moved it down the street ..so go and move it and if they move it back go and tell them why you want it moved ..and incidentally you are not allowed to block a pavement with any signs

Contact your local councillor and if you have no success report them to the planning department of your local council.

If you are in the UK, ring your local council.

it is illegal to obstruct the pavement - look at it from that angle too!
