Planning and safety in Stevenage
Stevenage 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.

Perforated roller shutters in Stevenage: questions
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.
Can I see into the shop through a perforated shutter?
Yes, especially when the shop is lit. Punched vision laths give a clearer view.

Yes. Book a survey for any address in Stevenage in the usual way; it is covered as part of Hertfordshire.
Is the survey free in Stevenage?
For new shutters, yes. Repair visits in Stevenage are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.
