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.
Practical reasons to consider illuminated projecting signs in Abingdon
- On a narrow Abingdon street, people walking along the pavement often see a projecting sign before they can read any fascia.
- A lit roundel tells people an Abingdon pub or restaurant is open on winter evenings, when fascias fall into shadow.
- Before you commit to a lit design in a historic part of Abingdon, we check the council's approach to projecting signs.

Consent for illuminated signs in Abingdon
Plan for express consent. In England most internally illuminated and halo-lit signs on a fascia or projecting bracket need it, and deemed consent does not cover illuminated signs in conservation areas, National Parks, National Landscapes, the Broads or areas of special control. The council usually decides within 8 weeks, and consent normally lasts 5 years. Expect questions about brightness: many councils refer to ILP guidance PLG05, which sets maximum luminance by zone, and they expect steady light rather than flashing. We prepare scaled drawings and photo mock-ups for the application, or submit it for you, and an electrician completes the connection to BS 7671 and gives you the certificate.
