Shop front shutters in Felixstowe: the essentials

Councils generally treat an external shopfront shutter as development that needs planning permission, so the design is chosen with that in mind. Graffiti-resistant coatings and perforated laths can reduce the blank 'dead frontage' look that solid shutters create at night.

Internal shutters behind the glazing protect stock without changing the street view, though they leave the glass exposed. Perforated and punched laths are popular on high streets because the window display stays visible when the shop is closed.

Specification options

  • Anti-lift and bottom-rail locks
  • Box external, behind the fascia or internal
  • Solid, perforated, punched or open-grille curtains
  • Key switch and remote operation
  • Designs chosen around local planning guidance
  • 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 Felixstowe?

Yes. Felixstowe (IP11) is within our Suffolk coverage, along with nearby Harwich, Clacton-on-Sea and Colchester.

Will a shutter lower my insurance premium?

It can help, and some insurers require a shutter for certain trades. Check your policy schedule for any stated standard before you order so the shutter meets it.

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.

What details help you quote quickly?

The postcode, the approximate width and height of the opening, whether you want manual or electric operation, and a photo of the frontage.

Is the survey free?

Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.
