What happens in Manchester?
Manchester sits in Greater Manchester, and Manchester City Council is the planning authority. For most shops that means checking consent before the order is placed, not after it.

What is worth knowing?
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.
Can I keep trading during the work?
Often, in part. Fitting days can be planned for your quiet days, and closed-day or out-of-hours work can be arranged.
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.
Will this need planning permission in Manchester?
It depends on how much changes. A new layout, new materials or a moved door usually needs permission from Manchester City Council. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.
