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.
What projecting and hanging signs can do for businesses in Nailsea
- With an older frontage, a Nailsea 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 Nailsea frontage.
- Visitors browsing Nailsea on foot look along a street rather than at each shopfront in turn, which is exactly the view a projecting sign serves.

Do you need permission for a sign in Nailsea?
Will you need permission? For a non-illuminated sign at your own business address in England, usually not, as long as it stays inside the deemed consent limits: letters no taller than 0.75 m (0.3 m in an area of special control) and nothing above the bottom of a first-floor window. Historic streets need more care. In a conservation area the details matter more, and fixing to a listed building usually needs listed building consent, with fixings into mortar joints rather than brick or stone faces generally preferred. We check with you before anything is ordered, and can prepare drawings and photos for an application, or submit it for you.
