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

What makes the difference?
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 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.
What about the fascia and sign?
We set out the fascia at the same time, so your sign fixings and any shutter box do not clash. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area.
Will this need planning permission in Lowestoft?
Usually yes, if the look of the frontage changes. Replacing like for like may not need permission, but East Suffolk Council has the final say. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.
