Rules that apply in Ely
As an English town, Ely follows the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and the permitted development rules in England.
- Fire exits: A shutter must not obstruct a fire exit while the premises are occupied. We discuss operating procedures and any interlocks with you.
- Powered shutters: Powered shutters are set up so their safety devices work, and should be maintained. Workplace rules expect powered doors to be safe in use.
- Planning: A new shutter on a shopfront usually needs planning permission, because it changes how the building looks; councils often prefer perforated shutters or internal grilles, and some areas have shopfront design guides. Listed buildings also need listed building consent.

Shop roller shutters in Ely: questions
Can you replace just the curtain?
Often, yes. If the box, barrel and guides are sound, a new curtain is cheaper than a complete shutter.
Should I choose solid or perforated?
Solid gives the most privacy and weather protection. Perforated lets light out and allows window shopping out of hours, which many councils and landlords prefer.
