Don't know if this has been discussed before regarding backlit bell boxes, seen a few of them and personally I dont like them. We have our logo's and telephone numbers etc for advertising and professional appearance but I think the line has to be drawn somewhere. Crying out to be vandalized by the local hoodies.

There is a row of around 8 of them at a new devolopment near us and while lit they looked terrible, they were lit for about a week and I can only assume the devoloper had second thoughts as they have not been illuminated since. No offence to anyone that uses them.

Your thoughts ?

1 a backlight sign needs planning permission.

2 they only look right with the right logo.

ours doesnt look right but i think they can look right if the right logo is set up etc. But from a detereance point of view i think they look better than the a non backlit bell

think there tat, however angus's where okay (right logo)

Only one i have ever liked was the blue abel one.

agree,the abel one is quality,take one apart and you see the engineering that has gone into it,the rest are tat as has been said

Tat. No one gives a toss, its only us lot in the trade who actually notice bells.

Does a backlit bellbox on residential need planning permission?

I am still trying to make sense of these "guidelines" for signage.

At a first quick read it doesn't answer the question.
