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.
Projecting and hanging signs in Penzance: the practical benefits
- A small Penzance shop squeezed between larger neighbours can still be spotted from the end of the street with a well-placed hanging sign.
- Visitors browsing Penzance on foot look along a street rather than at each shopfront in turn, which is exactly the view a projecting sign serves.
- Corner units in Penzance gain twice, because a projecting sign on the corner catches people coming from both streets.

Do you need permission for a sign in Penzance?
In England, a non-illuminated sign on your own business premises usually falls under deemed consent, which means no application is needed provided the sign stays within set limits. The lettering and symbols should be no more than 0.75 m tall (0.3 m in an area of special control), and the top of the sign should sit no higher than the bottom of any first-floor window. Conservation areas and listed buildings need more care: a sign on a listed building usually also needs listed building consent. We check the position for your premises before you commit, and we can prepare the drawings and photos for an application or submit it for you.
