(b)any placard or poster which is displayed in its district and which, in the opinion of the council, is so displayed in contravention of regulations under [F2section 130 of the Planning Act (Northern Ireland) 2011] .
(2) Where any graffiti, placard or poster to which sub-paragraph (a) or (b) of paragraph (1) applies identifies the person who displayed it or caused it to be displayed, a district council may give that person notice in writing—
(a)that the council is of the opinion mentioned in that sub-paragraph in respect of the graffiti, placard or poster specified in the notice;
(b)requiring that graffiti, placard or poster to be removed or obliterated within the period of 2 days beginning with the date of service of the notice; and

the council may recover summarily as a civil debt from that person the expenses it may reasonably incur in exercising its power under paragraph (1).
(4) Where—
(a)any graffiti, placard or poster to which paragraph (1)(a) or (b) applies does not identify the person who displayed it or caused it to be displayed, but
(b)the graffiti, placard or poster publicises the goods, services or concerns of an identifiable person,
paragraphs (2) and (3) have effect as if the reference in paragraph (2) to the person who displayed the graffiti, placard or poster or caused it to be displayed were a reference to the person whose goods, services or concerns are publicised.

(a)the land is unoccupied, and
(b)it would be impossible to exercise the power without entering the land.
(6) Where any damage is caused to land or chattels in the exercise of any power under paragraph (1), compensation may be recovered from the district council exercising the power by any person suffering the damage (other than the person who displayed the graffiti, placard or poster or caused it to be displayed).
(7) Any question of disputed compensation shall be referred to and determined by the Lands Tribunal.
(8) Nothing in this Article authorises the removal or obliteration of any graffiti, placard or poster displayed—
