Planning and safety in Reading
Reading is in England, so planning decisions sit with your local planning authority (the district, borough, city or unitary council).
- Safety: Light curtains and activation zones are commissioned on site so the door cannot close on people or vehicles in the opening.
- Maintenance: High cycle counts mean more frequent servicing than ordinary roller doors.
