What happens in Folkestone?
Working in Folkestone means working with Folkestone and Hythe District Council on planning, and sometimes with a landlord on the lease. We flag both early, so that neither one holds up your opening date.

What makes the difference?
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.
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.
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.
Will this need planning permission in Folkestone?
It depends on how much changes. A new layout, new materials or a moved door usually needs permission from Folkestone and Hythe District Council. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.
