Renewal of Regulation 7 Direction to Control ‘To Let’ Signs

Consultation ran for a 6-week period, between Monday 3 November and to 12noon on Monday 15 December 2025

On September 1, 2021, Lancaster City Council introduced a Regulation 7 Direction under the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) (England) Regulation 2007. This Direction prevents people from putting up “To Let” signs on homes in some parts of Lancaster. This was to address a proliferation of letting signs that were dominating some streets, particularly in areas such as Bulk, Castle, John O’Gaunt, Marsh, Scotforth East, and Scotforth West.  You can view the Regulation 7 Direction which came into force on 1 September 2021
