How does it work in Prestwich?
Local rules matter more than people expect. Bury Metropolitan Borough Council handles planning for Prestwich, and its view of external shutters and frontage changes shapes what we recommend.
What should you check before you decide?
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.
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.
What are the guide prices?

Will this need planning permission in Prestwich?
Usually yes, if the look of the frontage changes. Replacing like for like may not need permission, but Bury Metropolitan Borough Council has the final say. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.
