PPC Signs

Just thought i'd ask, with all these signs in private car parks (allegedly) being put by the PPCs, do they actually need planning permission to do so? I have seen some placed on lamp posts comming into car parks, are they allowed to do that?

Thanks ;)
Excel Parking, MET Parking, Combined Parking Solutions, VP Parking Solutions, ANPR PC Ltd, & Roxburghe Debt Collectors. What do they all have in common?
They are all or have been suspended from accessing the DVLA database for gross misconduct!
Do you really need to ask what kind of people run parking companies?

    I guess it depends on whether the lamp post is Council or privately owned? ISTR reading a post on Pepipoo where a PPC had nailed a sign to someone's brick wall, thereby damaging it. Didn't read follow-ups to see if they sued the PPC or anything. I guess it's less effort to strap a sign to a lamp post, than it is to dig a hole and put a post there. Perhaps councils should be going around removing these signs from their lamp posts and charging the PPC's a nice fee for removal, say £300 per sign?!
