Planning and safety in Pontypool
As a Welsh town, Pontypool follows the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and the Welsh permitted development rules.
- Fire separation: If the hatch breaks a fire-resisting wall, the shutter must be a tested fire-rated product installed to the manufacturer's instructions; a standard counter shutter will not do.
- Approvals: Where a fire-rated counter shutter is part of building work, such as a new hatch in a fire-resisting wall, building regulations approval is needed from local authority building control.
- Hygiene: In food areas, choose finishes that are easy to clean and keep the bottom rail clear of food prep.
