How does it work in Blackburn?
A frontage in Blackburn has to suit the street as well as the shop. Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council decides what is acceptable where planning applies, so we draw with that in mind.

What should you check before you decide?
What affects the price most?
Width, the number of doors, glass type and any strip-out. A second door or a laminated upgrade moves the figure more than the colour does.
How is the frontage measured?
We measure the structural opening, not the old frame. Lintel condition, floor level and how square the opening is all get recorded at survey.
Which glass should go in?
Safety glass is needed in doors, side panels and low-level panes. Laminated glass is worth the extra if the street has a history of break-ins.
Do you need consent in Blackburn?
It depends on how much changes. A new layout, new materials or a moved door usually needs permission from Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.
