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.
Practical reasons to consider totem and pylon signs in Felling
- Retail units sharing a Felling car park can use one multi-tenant pylon instead of a cluster of boards competing for attention.
- For a Felling dealership or garage set back from a main road, a pylon readable on approach gives drivers time to slow and turn.
- Landlords letting units in Felling can keep totems current with spare blank inserts, so a new tenant's panel slots straight in.

Totem and pylon signs in Felling: 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.
