How does it work in Chatham?
Our surveys in Chatham cover postcodes including ME4, along with Gillingham and Rochester. Planning applications here go to Medway Council, so it is worth reading any shopfront guidance it publishes before anything is drawn.
What should you think about first?
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.
Surface box or hidden box?
A surface box under the fascia is quicker and cheaper. A hidden box looks far better, but needs height above the door head and a removable access panel.
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.

Do you need consent in Chatham?
Usually yes, if the shutter goes on the outside. External shutters change how the building looks, so Medway 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.
