Shop roller shutters in Streatham: questions
Do I need planning permission for a shop shutter?
Usually yes. A new external shutter on a shopfront changes how the building looks, so most councils expect an application, and some have shopfront design guides that prefer perforated shutters or internal grilles. We can supply drawings and product details.
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.
Do I need permission for shop roller shutters in Streatham?
Possibly. New external shutters on shopfronts and street-facing elevations usually need planning permission. We recommend checking with your local council first.
