How does it work in the City of London?
The City of London sits in Greater London, and City of London Corporation is the planning authority. For most shops that means checking consent before the order is placed, not after it.

What should you think about first?
Can I keep trading during the work?
Often, in part. Fitting days can be planned for your quiet days, and closed-day or out-of-hours work can be arranged.
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 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.
Do you need consent in the City of London?
It depends on how much changes. A new layout, new materials or a moved door usually needs permission from City of London Corporation. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.
