Yellow New Housing Development Signs

How to Apply to Put Up a Yellow New Housing Sign

Housing Developers or Signage Agencies must submit an application at least 3 months before any signage is installed.  This allows the council enough time to assess locations, approve proposals, and arrange post installations where required.

Application Requirements

When applying, you must include:

1. Detailed Location Map

Your map must show:

• The exact proposed locations of each sign
• Which side of the road each sign will be placed on
• What will be displayed on each sign

A maximum of 10 signs within a two‑mile radius of the housing development is allowed.

Installation Rules

• Signs cannot be installed on street lighting columns.
• Signs must be placed on a post installed in the footway or, in some cases, another approved highway asset.
• The Engineers Department will assess and approve whether each proposed site is suitable.
  
  

Permit Duration

• A permit is valid for 12 months.
• After 12 months, if the signage is still required, you may apply for a renewal (another 12-month period).

Renewal fees are the same as the original application fees.

Costs

Application Fees

• £93.00 administration fee per application
