What makes the difference?
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.
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 electrics are needed?
A power supply near the box, installed by a qualified electrician. We show the position on the drawing.
Will this need planning permission in Lowestoft?
Usually yes, if the shutter goes on the outside. External shutters change how the building looks, so East Suffolk 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.
