Choosing shop front shutters for premises in Scarborough

Councils generally treat an external shopfront shutter as development that needs planning permission, so the design is chosen with that in mind. 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. Key switch operation means the shutter can only be opened by a key holder standing at the frontage.

Specification options

  • Separate door and window shutters if needed
  • Box external, behind the fascia or internal
  • Key switch and remote operation
  • 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 Scarborough?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair shop front shutters in Scarborough and the YO11 district, as part of our coverage across North Yorkshire.

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.

Can I keep my window display visible at night?

Yes. Perforated, punched or micro-perforated laths, or an open roller grille, let the display show through while the shopfront is secured.

How long does it take from order to fitting?

Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.

Will you take away my old shutter?

Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
