Questions about roller grilles in Chelmsford
Do shopping centres allow solid shutters?
Many require open grilles for internal units; check your lease or fit-out guide.
Can a grille go inside the shop?
Yes. Internal grilles behind the glass are common where planning or the landlord prefers the shopfront unchanged.
Do I need permission for roller grilles in Chelmsford?
Possibly. New external shutters on shopfronts and street-facing elevations usually need planning permission. We recommend checking with your local council first.
