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 Edinburgh
- Chains across Edinburgh and the Lothians can use one lit roundel design, so an Edinburgh site is recognised from the street's end.
- Corner premises in Edinburgh can put a projecting sign on the side wall to catch people coming from the cross street.
- Before you commit to a lit design in a historic part of Edinburgh, we check the council's approach to projecting signs.

Consent for illuminated signs in Edinburgh
Exterior illuminated signs in Scotland usually need express advertisement consent from the council under the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) (Scotland) Regulations 1984, as amended. Applications are normally made through eDevelopment.scot, and the council can confirm its timescales and any conditions on hours or brightness. Brightness is commonly judged against the ILP's PLG05 guidance, and static lighting is expected. If the building is listed, listed building consent is usually needed as well. An electrician makes the final mains connection to BS 7671 and you receive the certificate. We prepare drawings and photos for the application, or submit it for you.
