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.
Points in favour of illuminated projecting signs in Whitehaven
- Upper-floor clinics, dentists and studios in Whitehaven can mark an easily missed street door with a lit projecting sign.
- Where a Whitehaven street is busy with vans and buses, setting the sign high and back from the kerb matters.
- Chains across Cumbria can use one lit roundel design, so a Whitehaven site is recognised from the street's end.

Consent for illuminated signs in Whitehaven
Illuminated signs are treated more strictly than unlit ones in England. Deemed consent for illumination is limited, and it does not apply at all in conservation areas, National Parks, National Landscapes, the Broads or areas of special control, so most internally lit or halo-lit fascia and projecting signs need express consent from the council. Decisions usually take up to 8 weeks and consent is normally granted for 5 years. Councils commonly assess brightness against the Institution of Lighting Professionals' guidance PLG05, and lighting should be static. An electrician makes the final mains connection to BS 7671. We can prepare the drawings and photos for your application, or submit it for you.
