What happens in Peterlee?
Peterlee sits in County Durham, and Durham County Council is the planning authority. For most shops that means checking consent before the order is placed, not after it.
What should you think about first?
Does a shutter need planning permission?
An external shutter usually does. Many councils resist solid external shutters, and some resist perforated ones too. An internal grille or shutter is usually the safer route, so we can advise what to check before you order.
What will my insurer want?
Some insurers name a shutter type or rating, and many ask for locks and service records. Ask them before you order, as it saves a change later.
What about a fire exit?
A shutter must never trap people in. If it covers an escape route, it needs to be open while the premises are occupied, or opened easily from inside.
What should you budget?

| Up to 3 m | A typical single shop unit | £1,450 to £1,995 |
