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.
Where projecting and hanging signs can pay off in Dunbar
- With an older frontage, a Dunbar pub, café or bakery often suits a traditional painted sign on a scroll bracket.
- Inside a conservation area, a painted timber-style sign in muted colours is usually the easier design to agree for a Dunbar frontage.
- If your Dunbar street is narrow and fascias are hard to read at an angle, a hanging sign catches shoppers walking towards your door.

Do you need permission for a sign in Dunbar?
In Scotland, signs are controlled by the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) (Scotland) Regulations 1984, as amended. Some signs on business premises are allowed without an application, but the details differ from England's, so we check with the council rather than assume. Where express consent is needed, the application goes to the council, usually through eDevelopment.scot. Listed buildings need extra care: listed building consent is usually required under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997. We look at your premises before you commit and can prepare the drawings and photos, or submit the application for you.
