Projecting signs on listed buildings

Projecting signs can often adversely affect the appearance and character of listed buildings and will therefore require very careful consideration. Where their presence is considered acceptable particular attention will be paid to size, design and materials. In most situations signs and advertisements displayed on listed buildings should not be illuminated. Where illumination is justified it should be achieved unobtrusively: light fittings mounted above and projecting forward of the sign will not normally be acceptable.
