What to check in Cambridge before ordering
In Cambridge, as elsewhere in England, planning questions go to your local planning authority (the district, borough, city or unitary council).
- Orientation: We check daylight on the panel at survey; heavily shaded openings may need a remote panel or mains power.
- Planning: Solar shutters look much the same as mains shutters from outside, so the same planning advice applies.
