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.
Reasons to choose illuminated projecting signs in Prestonpans
- Corner premises in Prestonpans 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 Prestonpans, we check the council's approach to projecting signs.
- Where a Prestonpans street is busy with vans and buses, setting the sign high and back from the kerb matters.

Consent for illuminated signs in Prestonpans
A lit sign is the clearest case for applying first. Scotland's 1984 Advertisement Regulations treat illuminated signs differently from unlit ones, and express consent is usually needed for halo-lit letters, lightboxes and lit projecting signs. We check with the council before you commit to illuminated projecting signs, then put together scaled drawings, photo mock-ups and lighting details, which you can submit via eDevelopment.scot or we can submit for you. Expect the council to look at brightness (PLG05 is the usual reference) and to prefer steady light, perhaps on a time switch. The mains connection is completed by an electrician to BS 7671.
