What can you expect in Hitchin?
A frontage in Hitchin has to suit the street as well as the shop. North Hertfordshire District Council decides what is acceptable where planning applies, so we draw with that in mind.

What should you think about first?
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.
Which glass should go in?
Safety glass is needed in doors, side panels and low-level panes. Laminated glass is worth the extra if the street has a history of break-ins.
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.
Will this need planning permission in Hitchin?
A like-for-like replacement often does not need permission, but a visibly different frontage usually does. The application goes to North Hertfordshire District Council. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.
