Legal requirements
These signs are well within the legal size limit for NOT requiring Planning Permission. Generally, you can install signs up to 600mm by 450mm without Planning Permission. This is roughly the size of a standard Real Estate sign. Your sign should be installed on your own private property, or property you have obtained permission to use. Do not attach signs to road signs, telephone poles or any structure that is not yours. You can place the sign on a grass verge that belongs to you providing it is securely attached to a wooden post that is well fixed and will not blow away. It must not obstruct or distract motorist or cause any form of visual or physical obstruction to motorists. If you wish to install a sign on a farm fence or woodland, you must to seek the landowner’s permission. Most landowners are quite obliging when it comes to helping hedgehogs. If you are unclear in any way about local laws, speak to your local council first, they are usually very helpful.
