Planning and safety in Lancaster
In Lancaster, as elsewhere in England, planning questions go to your local planning authority (the district, borough, city or unitary council).
- Power supply: Industrial motors may need a 3-phase supply or a dedicated circuit; we confirm what is on site at survey.
- Workplace safety: Powered doors in workplaces must be safe to use and kept maintained; that includes working safety edges or photocells and regular servicing.
- Lifting and access: Large doors are installed with suitable access equipment and a site-specific method statement.
