Rules that apply in Pontypool
As a Welsh town, Pontypool follows the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and the Welsh permitted development rules.
- Ventilation: A closed shutter reduces airflow round trickle vents, so on rooms with gas appliances or poor ventilation we specify slotted laths or a part-open setting.
- Electrics: Motors are wired to BS 7671. Some electrical work in homes, such as a new circuit, is notifiable under Part P in England and Wales (the lists of notifiable work differ slightly between the two). It is either self-certified by an electrician registered with a competent person scheme or notified to building control.
- Planning: Whether external shutters on a house need permission depends on the property and the council. Listed buildings need consent for external alterations, and conservation areas often bring tighter rules, so check before ordering. We provide drawings and product details for an application.
- Escape windows: If a shutter covers a window you would use to get out in a fire, it must open from inside without a key. We fit a manual override or battery backup on those openings.

Do window shutters need planning permission?
It depends on the house and the council. External shutters on a listed building need listed building consent, and conservation areas and some councils apply tighter controls. On many ordinary houses no application is needed, but check with your council before ordering; we supply drawings if you need to apply.
What happens in a power cut?
Mains motors stop where they are until power returns. If a window is needed for escape we fit a manual override or a battery-backed motor so it can still be opened.
