What to check in Farnworth before ordering
In Farnworth, as elsewhere in England, planning questions go to your local planning authority (the district, borough, city or unitary council).
- 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.
- 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.
- Fire exits: A shutter must not obstruct a fire exit while the premises are occupied. We discuss operating procedures and any interlocks with you.

Frequently asked 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.
