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 Galashiels: the practical benefits
- If your Galashiels street is narrow and fascias are hard to read at an angle, a hanging sign catches shoppers walking towards your door.
- Corner units in Galashiels gain twice, because a projecting sign on the corner catches people coming from both streets.
- When Galashiels pavements are busy, fascias disappear behind people and parked vans, but a hanging sign above head height stays in view.

Do you need permission for a sign in Galashiels?
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.
