If your shop in Ramsgate is on a parade or in a conservation area, the look of the shutter matters as much as the security, so we talk through planning-friendly options such as perforated laths or a box behind the fascia.

In most cases yes, by fitting a motor inside the barrel or a gear motor on the side.
