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.

Totem and pylon signs in Haywards Heath: 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.

Totem and pylon signs in Haywards Heath: questions

Will you need to dig up the car park?

A section of surfacing is broken out where the foundation goes, usually a little larger than the sign base. Once the totem is installed, the surface is reinstated to match as closely as practical. We plan the dig around traffic so the site can stay open where possible.

What drawings does the council need for a totem?

Councils usually ask for a location plan, a site plan showing the sign's position, and scaled elevations with dimensions, materials, colours and height above ground. For a lit totem, the illumination method and brightness are usually requested too. We can prepare these drawings and photos for you.

What is a CAT scan before digging?

A CAT scan uses a cable avoidance tool, often with a signal generator, to locate buried electricity cables and metal pipes before excavation. Combined with utility records, it reduces the risk of striking a service, and hand digging around anything located is normal practice.

How long does it take to get totem and pylon signs in Haywards Heath?

It typically takes a few weeks from first enquiry, with much of that time falling after you approve the proof, while the work is made and scheduled. Graphics and vehicle jobs are typically shorter than fabricated or illuminated signs. If advertisement consent is needed, the council's decision comes first and adds to the overall timescale.
