What can you expect in Whitehaven?
Whitehaven sits in Cumbria, and Cumberland Council is the planning authority. For most shops that means checking consent before the order is placed, not after it.
What should you check before you decide?
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.
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.
Do I need a safety edge?
That depends on the risk assessment. Powered shutters near the public are assessed against BS EN 12453, and we quote what the result calls for.

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