What can you expect in Cowes?
A frontage in Cowes has to suit the street as well as the shop. Isle of Wight Council decides what is acceptable where planning applies, so we draw with that in mind.
What should you think about first?
How do you deal with the threshold?
We aim for level or near-level access. New doors need thought about wheelchair and pushchair users, and we check the floor before we promise anything.
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 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.
What should you budget?
| Opening width | Typical unit | Guide price plus VAT |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 3 m | A typical single shop unit | £2,450 to £3,995 |
| 3 to 4 m | A wider single unit | £3,195 to £5,195 |
| 4 to 5 m | A double-fronted or corner unit | £3,995 to £6,495 |
| 5 to 6 m | A large double unit | £4,795 to £7,995 |
Guide prices, not offers. Your written quotation sets the final figure.
Do you need consent in Cowes?
A like-for-like replacement often does not need permission, but a visibly different frontage usually does. The application goes to Isle of Wight Council. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.
