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.
Practical reasons to consider projecting and hanging signs in Waltham Abbey
- With an older frontage, a Waltham Abbey pub, café or bakery often suits a traditional painted sign on a scroll bracket.
- When Waltham Abbey pavements are busy, fascias disappear behind people and parked vans, but a hanging sign above head height stays in view.
- Corner units in Waltham Abbey gain twice, because a projecting sign on the corner catches people coming from both streets.

Do you need permission for a sign in Waltham Abbey?
Advertisement consent in England comes from the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) (England) Regulations 2007. A sign is either excluded from control, has deemed consent, or needs express consent from the council's planning department. For a plain, unlit sign on your own premises, deemed consent usually applies when characters are 0.75 m tall or less (0.3 m in an area of special control) and the top edge is below the first-floor windows. Conservation areas need more care, and a listed building usually needs listed building consent as well; working without it can be a criminal offence. We confirm the route before you commit, and can prepare the drawings for an application or submit it for you.
