Consent for illuminated signs in Llandudno

Illuminated fascia and projecting signs in Wales usually need express consent from the council under the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) Regulations 1992, as amended. Because the Welsh rules differ in detail from England's, we check with the planning authority what applies to your building, especially in a conservation area or on a listed building, where listed building consent may also be needed. Councils commonly look at brightness against the ILP's PLG05 guidance and expect static lighting. The final connection to the mains is made by an electrician to BS 7671, and you receive the certificate. We prepare the drawings and photos, or submit the application for you.

Illuminated built-up letters in Llandudno: questions

What is the typical timescale for illuminated built-up letters from enquiry to fitting?

A quote typically follows once we have your photos or have surveyed the site, and making and fitting is typically booked a few weeks after you approve the proof. Where advertisement consent applies, that decision has to come through before anything goes up, which can add several weeks. We give you an expected timescale with your quote for Llandudno.

Do you work across Clwyd or only in Llandudno?

Across all of Clwyd, and the rest of the UK too. Llandudno is simply one of the places we list, and enquiries from anywhere nearby follow exactly the same steps: photos or a survey, a scaled proof, a written price, then making and fitting once you sign off the design.

What if one letter stops lighting?

Usually a connection or driver has failed rather than the LEDs. Drivers sit somewhere reachable, so they can be swapped without taking the sign down, and a letter can be lifted off its studs if a module needs replacing. Keep your handover notes.

How long does the process take?

Making and fitting typically takes 3–5 weeks after you approve the proof. Where express advertisement consent is needed, allow for the council's decision too, usually up to 8 weeks, and plan for production to start once the decision is in.

Does the price of illuminated built-up letters in Llandudno include VAT?

No. Our guide range of £140–£360 per letter excludes VAT, which is added to the quote. The final figure depends on size, materials, access, removal of existing signage or graphics and the artwork needed, and we confirm it in writing after a survey or once we have checked your files.

Can we see the night-time look first?

Yes. The design proof shows the letters to scale on a photo of your building, and a night-time visual can show the lit effect. Where colour is critical, a sample letter or face can be lit for you to check before the full set is made.
