What should you think about first?
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.
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.
Will this need planning permission in Ferndown?
It depends on how much changes. A new layout, new materials or a moved door usually needs permission from Dorset Council. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.
