What happens across Shropshire?
We work right across Shropshire, including Telford, Shrewsbury, Wellington and Oswestry. Rules on frontages and shutters differ from one council to the next. Councils here include Telford and Wrekin and Shropshire. Telford's planned centre sits beside historic Shrewsbury and Ludlow, with Oswestry and Bridgnorth also among the market towns.
What makes the difference?
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.
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.
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.

Usually yes, if the shutter goes on the outside. External shutters change how the building looks, so your 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.
