As an English town, Taunton follows the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and the permitted development rules in England.

Questions about perforated roller shutters in Taunton
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 Taunton?
Possibly. New external shutters on shopfronts and street-facing elevations usually need planning permission. We recommend checking with your local council first.
Do you cover Taunton?
Yes, we survey and fit in Taunton (TA1) as part of our Somerset coverage.
