How does it work in Canterbury?
Canterbury sits in Kent, and Canterbury City Council is the planning authority. For most shops that means checking consent before the order is placed, not after it.

What should you think about first?
What about the fascia and sign?
We set out the fascia at the same time, so your sign fixings and any shutter box do not clash. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area.
Can it have a shutter later?
Yes, but it is far neater to allow for one now. Tell us at survey, and we will leave height behind the fascia even if the shutter comes later.
What affects the price most?
Width, the number of doors, glass type and any strip-out. A second door or a laminated upgrade moves the figure more than the colour does.
Will this need planning permission in Canterbury?
It depends on how much changes. A new layout, new materials or a moved door usually needs permission from Canterbury City Council. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.
