Signage

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I erect signage?

The terms of your lease will determine exactly what signage you can erect and where. As a rule of thumb, most tenants are permitted to erect and alter the signage on the property, subject to first obtaining the Council's consent and subject to obtaining any necessary statutory consent (if applicable).

When applying for consent you will need to confirm the size, shape, font, font size, text and location of any signage to the Council. If consent is granted it is important for you to remember that when you vacate the property you will be liable for removing the signage and making good any damage caused.

Can I change an existing estate sign board? 

If you lease a property on an estate that benefits from a communal landlord's estate sign board, you are prohibited from making amendments to this. The Council will add your name to the estate sign board, free of charge on completion of the lease (logos are not permitted). If during the term of your lease you would like the name changed, you must contact the Centre Management Team who will confirm if the change is permitted:
Email: beacon@newark-sherwooddc.gov.uk 
Telephone: 01636 653100

Please note, you will be liable for the costs incurred in arranging and making the change to the estate sign board whether or not matters proceed to completion.
