A totem sign is a free-standing sign on its own foundation, typically 1.5–4 m tall, used at site entrances and car parks to show a business name, tenants or directions where a wall sign won't be seen.
Good reasons to look at totem and pylon signs in Winsford
- If your Winsford site entrance is close to a busy junction, keeping the totem outside the visibility splay matters as much as its looks.
- Landlords letting units in Winsford can keep totems current with spare blank inserts, so a new tenant's panel slots straight in.
- On an industrial estate around Winsford with several entrances, directional totems at each junction point deliveries to the right unit.

Totem and pylon signs in Winsford: permission and rules
A free-standing totem usually needs express advertisement consent from the council's planning department, especially if it is illuminated, tall or close to a road. In England, decisions usually take up to 8 weeks and consent is normally granted for 5 years. Illuminated totems cannot rely on deemed consent in conservation areas, National Parks, National Landscapes, the Broads or areas of special control. Councils also look at highway safety, so a site plan showing sightlines helps. Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own advertisement regulations and application routes. We can prepare the drawings, site plan and photos for an application, or submit it for you.
