The Control of Advertisements Regs do not expressly authorise the erection a flagpole, which is (arguably) a ‘structure’ within the meaning of section 55 of the 1990 Act. In practice, I am not aware of any point having been taken as to the erection of a flagpole, as distinct from flying a flag from it. But I could well understand a contrary argument being put forward – namely that advertisement control consent (whether deemed or expressly granted) must necessarily imply consent for the flagpole as well as the display of the flag. There is a passing reference in the regs to the ‘flagstaff’, albeit in terms of what it may not display, which may lend some support to this argument, but this is admittedly a grey area.Martin H Goodallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07079479984296674469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8170718846507476773.post-14684441692898088812015-06-16T14:27:24.548+01:002015-06-16T14:27:24.548+01:00Might I point out that it wasn't about flag po...Might I point out that it wasn't about flag poles, it was about flags,poles are a whole new matterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8170718846507476773.post-5010373867174038562013-08-21T02:59:56.268+01:002013-08-21T02:59:56.268+01:00Such a great and informative post about flagpoles....Such a great and informative post about flagpoles.
