What happens in Bootle?
Our surveys in Bootle cover postcodes including L20 and L30, along with Litherland and Wallasey. Planning applications here go to Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council, so it is worth reading any shopfront guidance it publishes before anything is drawn.
What is worth knowing?
How do you deal with the threshold?
We aim for level or near-level access. New doors need thought about wheelchair and pushchair users, and we check the floor before we promise anything.
Can it have a shutter later?
Yes, but it is far neater to allow for one now. Tell us at survey, and we will leave height behind the fascia even if the shutter comes later.
Which colours work best?
Dark greys and black are the most requested because they frame the shop well. In a conservation area, ask us first, as colour can matter to the council.
