Planning and safety in Hailsham
Hailsham is in England, so planning decisions sit with your local planning authority (the district, borough, city or unitary council).
- Planning: A perforated shutter is often the type councils will accept on a shopfront, but an application is usually still needed.
- Weather: Perforations let some wind and rain through, so think about the glazing behind and draughts in exposed spots.

Questions about perforated roller shutters in Hailsham
Can I see into the shop through a perforated shutter?
Yes, especially when the shop is lit. Punched vision laths give a clearer view.
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.
Is the survey free in Hailsham?
Yes, surveys for new installations in Hailsham are free. Repair and service visits are charged.
Do I need permission for perforated roller shutters in Hailsham?
It depends on the property. New external shutters on shopfronts and street-facing elevations usually need planning permission. Check with your local council before ordering; we can supply drawings.
