What can you expect in Lewes?
Lewes sits in East Sussex, and South Downs National Park Authority 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 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.
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.
What should you budget?
| Opening width | Typical unit | Guide price plus VAT |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 3 m | A typical single shop unit | £3,600 to £5,995 |
| 3 to 4 m | A wider single unit | £4,695 to £7,795 |
| 4 to 5 m | A double-fronted or corner unit | £5,895 to £9,695 |
| 5 to 6 m | A large double unit | £7,195 to £11,995 |
Guide prices, not offers. Your written quotation sets the final figure.
Will this need planning permission in Lewes?
It depends on how much changes. A new layout, new materials or a moved door usually needs permission from South Downs National Park Authority. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.
