A DEVELOPER has requested permission to install signage near to an upcoming housing development.

Miller Homes is seeking consent from council planners to display one V-stack sign, two monolith signs, one swing sign and nine flag poles on land opposite 55 To 85 Rookery Lane, Rainford.

Land at the site was purchased by Miller Homes to build 307 homes, the Star reported earlier this year.

The 32-acre location, off Higher Lane and Rookery Lane, will be named Dial House Place, after the nearby Dial House Wood, and will offer a mix of one, two, three, and four-bedroom properties, around a third of which are set to be affordable homes.

Proposals were initially accepted in 2023 by St Helens Council, with planning committee members voting in favour of the controversial proposals, despite more than 200 resident objections to the scheme.

The flagpoles will be 5.5m in height, with banners being 2.8m long x 0.7m wide.

The largest of the other signs will be four metres high, according to the application form.

Earlier this year, Miller Homes won permission to install a V-stack advertising board, 10 flag poles two facia signs to a sales garage at land off Rookery Lane and Higher Lane, in relation to the development.

The application is on a standard consultation until Tuesday, October 15, with a decision expected by council planners by November 15.
