Rules that apply in Dorset
Dorset is in England, so planning decisions sit with 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.

Solar roller shutters in Dorset: questions
Are solar shutters more expensive?
The shutter costs more than a mains version, but you save on electrical work, which often makes the total similar.
How long does the battery last?
Batteries are a replaceable part and typically last several years in normal use. Replacement does not mean replacing the shutter.
Do I need permission for solar roller shutters in Dorset?
Possibly. External shutters on listed buildings need listed building consent, and conservation areas often have tighter rules. We recommend checking with your local council first.
Is the survey free in Dorset?
Yes, for new installations. We tell you the cost of any repair or service visit before booking.
