How shop front shutters work, and what to ask for

Councils generally treat an external shopfront shutter as development that needs planning permission, so the design is chosen with that in mind. A powder-coated colour that matches the shopfront helps the shutter look like part of the design rather than an add-on.

Hiding the shutter box behind the fascia keeps the frontage tidy, and is something many council design guides ask for. Takeaways and late-opening shops often choose quieter aluminium curtains to reduce noise for neighbours above.

  • Separate door and window shutters if needed
  • Key switch and remote operation

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.

Shop front shutters: common questions

Do you cover Blackburn?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Blackburn. We also cover nearby Darwen, Accrington and Chorley.

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.

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.

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.

What warranty do I get?

Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.

Who carries out the work?

Work is carried out by experienced shutter engineers working for S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with.
