Planning and safety in Braintree
In Braintree, as elsewhere in England, planning questions go to your local planning authority (the district, borough, city or unitary council).
- 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.

Frequently asked questions
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.
Are perforated shutters less secure?
They are slightly lighter than solid shutters of the same gauge, but still form a strong physical barrier. Solid bottom laths add kick resistance.
Do I need permission for perforated roller shutters in Braintree?
New external shutters on shopfronts and street-facing elevations usually need planning permission. If you are unsure, ask your local council; we provide product details for any application.
