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.
Good reasons to look at illuminated projecting signs in Nottingham
- A lit roundel tells people a Nottingham pub or restaurant is open on winter evenings, when fascias fall into shadow.
- Corner premises in Nottingham can put a projecting sign on the side wall to catch people coming from the cross street.
- On a narrow Nottingham street, people walking along the pavement often see a projecting sign before they can read any fascia.

Consent for illuminated signs in Nottingham
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.
