Planning and safety in Aberystwyth
In Aberystwyth, as elsewhere in Wales, planning questions go to your local planning authority (the county or county borough council, or a national park authority).
- Weather: Perforations let some wind and rain through, so think about the glazing behind and draughts in exposed spots.
- Planning: A perforated shutter is often the type councils will accept on a shopfront, but an application is usually still needed.

Why do councils prefer perforated shutters?
They keep shopping streets looking lit and active after hours rather than lined with blank steel, which many shopfront design guides encourage.
