Advertisement consent

Important notes

Applications for advertisement consent should be submitted in accordance with the requirements in this checklist. If not, the application may be declared invalid and not determined or processing may be delayed.

If the application is submitted electronically one copy of the form and each of the drawings, plans and documentation will be required but two copies (one original and one copy) will be required if the application is submitted in paper form. If samples of materials are submitted, only one sample of each of the materials will be required.

Plans marked with "do not scale" or any similar phrase will be returned as unacceptable as for planning purposes we must be able to scale from all drawings.
