What to know about shop front shutters in Accrington
Perforated and punched laths are popular on high streets because the window display stays visible when the shop is closed. Graffiti-resistant coatings and perforated laths can reduce the blank 'dead frontage' look that solid shutters create at night.
Hiding the shutter box behind the fascia keeps the frontage tidy, and is something many council design guides ask for. A powder-coated colour that matches the shopfront helps the shutter look like part of the design rather than an add-on.
Features to choose from
- Designs chosen around local planning guidance
- Anti-lift and bottom-rail locks
- Separate door and window shutters if needed
- Solid, perforated, punched or open-grille curtains
- Manual override for power cuts
- Powder coating to match your shopfront

Rules in England
Planning permission for shopfront shutters
In England an external shutter on a shopfront is usually treated as development that needs planning permission from the local planning authority, and a listed building also needs listed building consent. Many councils' shopfront design guides favour internal shutters, perforated or open-grille designs and boxes hidden behind the fascia, and some refuse solid external shutters in conservation areas and on main shopping streets.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Accrington?
Yes. Accrington (BB5) is within our Lancashire coverage, along with nearby Rawtenstall, Blackburn and Darwen.
Which shutter is most likely to get planning approval?
Councils commonly prefer internal shutters, perforated or open-grille designs, and boxes hidden behind the fascia. Solid external shutters are often refused in conservation areas and on main shopping streets.
Can the shutter match my shopfront colour?
Yes. Shutters can be powder coated to a RAL colour, and the box and guides can be finished to match.
Do I need planning permission for a shop shutter?
In most cases yes. External shutters change the appearance of a shopfront, so councils usually require planning permission, and listed buildings also need listed building consent. Internal shutters often do not need planning permission but may still need consent on a listed building.
Do your guide prices include VAT?
