An illuminated projecting sign is a double-sided sign fixed at right angles to the building on a bracket, with LEDs inside or behind it, so people approaching along the pavement can read it.
Where illuminated projecting signs can pay off in Newtownards
- On a narrow Newtownards street, people walking along the pavement often see a projecting sign before they can read any fascia.
- Chains across County Down can use one lit roundel design, so a Newtownards site is recognised from the street's end.
- Before you commit to a lit design in a historic part of Newtownards, we check the council's approach to projecting signs.

Consent for illuminated signs in Newtownards
Light changes the consent position. Under Northern Ireland's 2015 Advertisement Regulations, internally lit, halo-lit and lit projecting signs typically need express consent from the council, applied for online through the NI Planning Portal. A listed building usually needs listed building consent as well. LED modules and drivers run at low voltage, but the final mains connection is made by an electrician to BS 7671, who certifies the circuit. Councils commonly refer to PLG05 for brightness and expect steady rather than flashing light. We check before you commit to illuminated projecting signs and can prepare or submit the application.
