What happens in Hetton-le-Hole?
Local rules matter more than people expect. Sunderland City Council handles planning for Hetton-le-Hole, and its view of external shutters and frontage changes shapes what we recommend.
What should you check before you decide?
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.
What electrics are needed?
A power supply near the box, installed by a qualified electrician. We show the position on the drawing.
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.
