How does it work in Carrickfergus?
Carrickfergus sits in County Antrim, and Mid and East Antrim Borough Council is the planning authority. For most shops that means checking consent before the order is placed, not after it.
What makes the difference?
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.
Should the stallriser stay?
A stallriser protects the bottom of the glass from kicks, trolleys and cleaning water. On older streets it is also part of the look.
Which colours work best?
Dark greys and black are the most requested because they frame the shop well. In a conservation area, ask us first, as colour can matter to the council.
