    I recently started a small coffee business selling from a small converted container. Anyway, the council got in touch and said we have no permission for the signage.
    We had signs at three points.
    1) street lampost
    2) flag pole on the private land we trade on
    3) on the side of the container - plastic boards, attached to wood , then drilled to the container.

    The first one i have no issue with and totally understand, that was foolish of us.
    The second one, its on private land, i am a little surprised.
    Number three also surprised.

    Anyway, my question is what constitutes a sign does anyone know when it comes to the council. All they have said is that we have "unauthorised associated signage". Does anyone have any expertise on this ?

    Would painting directly on to the container still be a sign if it had the name or logo ?

    thanks in advance

    This details the types/sizes of signage is exempted from requiring planning permission. Anything outside of that requires planning.

    Do you have permission for the container itself or is it just the signage that’s the issue.

    If they are fingerpost signs then it is not planning but a licence that is required. €50/year. Forms usually from LA website
