Hastings District Council signage rules cover things like size, illumination, and placement near the street for shopfront and freestanding signs. We can’t give formal legal advice on this, but we regularly help businesses through the practical side, sizing your sign correctly, keeping it within permitted limits.
If you’re planning a new shopfront sign in Hastings, it’s worth talking to us and the council, before finalising your design so we can help avoid delays later.
