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.
Points in favour of totem and pylon signs in Craigavon
- Retail units sharing a Craigavon car park can use one multi-tenant pylon instead of a cluster of boards competing for attention.
- Landlords letting units in Craigavon can keep totems current with spare blank inserts, so a new tenant's panel slots straight in.
- When a business park near Craigavon hides its units behind landscaping, an entrance totem tells visitors which turning to take.

Totem and pylon signs in Craigavon: 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.
