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

Questions about shop roller shutters in Bicester
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.
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.
Is the survey free in Bicester?
Yes, surveys for new installations in Bicester are free. Repair and service visits are charged.
