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.
Why choose illuminated projecting signs for a business in Bournemouth?
- On a narrow Bournemouth street, people walking along the pavement often see a projecting sign before they can read any fascia.
- Before you commit to a lit design in a historic part of Bournemouth, we check the council's approach to projecting signs.
- Where a Bournemouth street is busy with vans and buses, setting the sign high and back from the kerb matters.

Consent for illuminated signs in Bournemouth
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.
Covering Bournemouth and Dorset
From the middle of Bournemouth to the edges of Dorset, the same survey, proof and fit process applies. If the job calls for someone on site, a visit is booked; if not, we price from photos, measurements and your artwork, then confirm the details once the artwork is checked.
