    I have recently seen a number of older non road worthy trucks parked up on public roads, with advertising hoarding on the side. Any idea what the legal standing of these mobile billboards. Do they need to be taxed and insured? Do they need planning premission? Are they legal?

    Leaving open for general discussion, having regard to forum rule against legal advice

    Provided they are in a public place:

    1. Yes
    2. Yes
    3. Yes provided 1 and 2 apply.

    What if they are in a farmers field, as most I have seen are?

    Not sure about the tax issue as they usually trailed but back in 2013 https://www.google.ie/amp/www.thejournal.ie/mobile-trailer-advertisements-planning-permission-bord-pleanala-1206054-Dec2013/%3Famp%3D1[URL][/url]

    Private lands will require planning permission if not mobile.

    Public roads will require a licence and compliance with S71 of the Roads Act 1993 and the Planning and Development Regulations 2000-2011.

    Regarding private lands and the link provided by Really Interested here is the An Bord Plenála order:-

    Was there not a perverse ruling that if they kept moving the billboard planning would not apply?

    Correct, if they can move they are temporary and no planning permission or licence is required, however if they are visible to the public (which is the general idea) then the local authority can have them removed under S20 of the Litter Pollution Act 1997.

    If the answers to 1 and 2 are no, who should be contacted to have them removed. The CC or the litter warden?


    Thanks for replying everyone.

    Do the council need to be contacted or prompted for this, and if so which department?

    Planning permission is required for change of use. Changing from, say, agricultural land to storage or vehicles and/or display of advertising is a change of use.
