A projecting sign is a sign, usually double-sided, fixed at right angles to a building on a wall bracket, so it can be read by people approaching along the street from either direction.
Reasons to choose projecting and hanging signs in Saltcoats
- Inside a conservation area, a painted timber-style sign in muted colours is usually the easier design to agree for a Saltcoats frontage.
- Upstairs businesses in Saltcoats, such as salons, studios and accountants, can use a projecting sign at street level to mark a side door.
- A small Saltcoats shop squeezed between larger neighbours can still be spotted from the end of the street with a well-placed hanging sign.

Do you need permission for a sign in Saltcoats?
Different rules apply in Scotland. The 1984 Scotland Regulations decide whether a non-illuminated sign needs advertisement consent, and while some shop and office signs can go up without applying, the details are not the same as in England. Historic buildings deserve care: listed building consent is usually needed for signs on listed buildings under the 1997 Scotland Act, and carrying out works without it can be a criminal offence. We confirm what applies before you commit to projecting and hanging signs, then prepare drawings and photographs for an eDevelopment.scot application, or submit it on your behalf.
