You can apply to the council to request temporary directional signage for new housing developments.

Are there any rules?

There are criteria guidelines that have to be followed which include:

• The development must be of a minimum planned size of 30 bedrooms
• Signage will only be allowed up to a maximum of two years - and no longer than six months after the completion of the housing development to which it refers
• Only approved contractors on our list may erect or dismantle signs on the public highway - please see List of Approved Contractors
• Each authorised sign will be issued with a permit sticker

It is recommended that you read the full terms and conditions before placing an application - you can download this from this page

Cost

It will cost you an administration fee of £225 (non-refundable) to initiate an investigation.  Should your application be successful there will be an additional highway rental charge of £15 per month for each sign.
