Class C – Exterior painting
The GPDO allows for the external painting of your property in any colour unless the you try and paint your property for an advertisement, announcement or direction sign.
Very simple class and apart from the restrictions above, you are free to paint as you wish.
Painting under Class C could be withdrawn via a restriction on the building usually through a previous planning application or via restrictions in a conservation area etc. where you might have to use a particular colour of paint.
And that is about it….. However maybe avoid picking the colour after a night down the pub – you might regret it when you come to sell the property!
