Planning and safety in Leicester
In Leicester, as elsewhere in England, planning questions go to 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 Leicester: questions
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.
Do you cover Leicester?
Yes. Book a survey for any address in Leicester in the usual way; it is covered as part of Leicestershire.
