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.
Points in favour of projecting and hanging signs in Haddington
- With an older frontage, a Haddington pub, café or bakery often suits a traditional painted sign on a scroll bracket.
- Visitors browsing Haddington on foot look along a street rather than at each shopfront in turn, which is exactly the view a projecting sign serves.
- Upstairs businesses in Haddington, such as salons, studios and accountants, can use a projecting sign at street level to mark a side door.

Do you need permission for a sign in Haddington?
Scotland runs its own advertisement rules, set out in the 1984 Control of Advertisements (Scotland) Regulations as amended. An unlit sign on your own premises may not need an application, but that depends on its size, its position and whether the building is listed or sits in a conservation area. If consent is needed, the council receives the application, typically submitted online through eDevelopment.scot. On a listed building, listed building consent usually applies too, and fixings into mortar joints are generally preferred. We check the position with you before anything is ordered, and we can draw up and submit the paperwork if you would like us to.
