A fascia sign is the flat panel fixed along the board above a shop or office frontage, usually 3–4 mm aluminium composite carrying printed or cut-vinyl lettering, a logo and sometimes contact details.
Why choose fascia signs for a business in Forfar?
- Where footfall on a Forfar high street is heavy, a clean, high-contrast fascia is often read before passers-by notice the window display.
- For a Forfar unit in a conservation area, a matt panel with restrained lettering is often the easier design to agree.
- Retail park landlords often want drawings before approving signs, and a scale visual of your Forfar fascia gives them exactly that.

Do you need permission for a sign in Forfar?
Different rules apply in Scotland. The 1984 Scotland Regulations decide whether a non-illuminated sign needs advertisement consent, and while some shop and office signs can go up without applying, the details are not the same as in England. Historic buildings deserve care: listed building consent is usually needed for signs on listed buildings under the 1997 Scotland Act, and carrying out works without it can be a criminal offence. We confirm what applies before you commit to fascia signs, then prepare drawings and photographs for an eDevelopment.scot application, or submit it on your behalf.
