The law permits a private citizen to fly any flag he or she so wishes on his or her private land provided that the flagpole has planning permission. Planning permission is not required for a flagpole if it is used solely to fly the union flag. Further exemptions include St Georges flag in England on St Georges day. The Saltire in Scotland on St Andrews day, the Cornish flag in Cornwall on St Pirans day and the welsh flag or St Davids cross on St davids day in wales.
