Planning and safety in Oadby
Oadby is in England, so planning decisions sit with your local planning authority (the district, borough, city or unitary council).
- Approvals: Where a fire-rated counter shutter is part of building work, such as a new hatch in a fire-resisting wall, building control approval is needed, from the council or a registered building control approver.
- Hygiene: In food areas, choose finishes that are easy to clean and keep the bottom rail clear of food prep.
- 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.

Stainless steel or anodised aluminium are easy to wipe down and resist corrosion.
Is the survey free in Oadby?
For new shutters, yes. Repair visits in Oadby are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.
Do I need permission for counter & servery shutters in Oadby?
New external shutters on street-facing elevations usually need planning permission; internal counter shutters usually do not. If you are unsure, ask your local council; we provide product details for any application.
