What can you expect in Lancaster?
Whether the unit is on the main shopping street or a local parade in Lancaster, the job is measured the same way, and Lancaster City Council is the council to check with.
What is worth knowing?
Steel or aluminium laths?
Steel is stronger and heavier. Aluminium is lighter and quieter, which helps under flats. Most shops are well served by either.
What electrics are needed?
A power supply near the box, installed by a qualified electrician. We show the position on the drawing.
How is the shutter controlled?
By key switch, remote or both, and we specify a manual override for power cuts. Keep the override instructions somewhere that staff can find them.

Will this need planning permission in Lancaster?
Usually yes, if the shutter goes on the outside. External shutters change how the building looks, so Lancaster City Council will normally expect a planning application. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.
